  • Abstract
    This paper discusses some key audit methods and questions used to evaluate worker behaviors and adherence to corporate electrical safe work standards. This research was prompted by the question: “Are the approaches used and the questions asked during an audit really uncovering all aspects of worker behavior?” Human factors play a significant role in both getting accurate responses from workers during audits as well as motivating facilities to address audit action items.
