Study of Improve the Electrical Safety at Workplace by Direct Observation

Arun Kumar Yadav, Arvind Kumar, Anurag Dwivedi, Dinesh Kumar Nishad

Abstract


Electrical safety program is to reducing electrical injuries in the workplace. The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) is to develop a new system safety awareness program to accommodate safety professionals and facility managers with development or improvement of electrical safety programs simantaneously. Uplifting a proactive approach to electrical safety, the scheme features high-quality video modules that strengthen the necessity of electrical safety programs and compliance with standards and regulations, while also revealing the personal impact workplace electrical incidents can have on an organization and its employees. Program also incorporate an online assessment tool that enhance self-evaluation as a method for improving workplace electrical safety. The Electrical Safety Self-Assessment users and analyze electrical safety practices related to facilities, personnel and procedures. Once the assessment is complete, users are provided with a summary of areas that have been identified for further examination or development.
