Abstract :
Often overlooked in a company´s Electrical Safety Program is the need to audit the Electrical Safety Program and the implemented preventive and protective control measures to mitigate or reduce the risk of exposure to workers to the electrical hazards of arc flash and shock to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Findings from Electrical Safety Audits provide evidence and measurable results to electrical safety performance, which is critical for continuous improvement. [1][2][3][4][6][9][10][11][12][13][14].
