Safe Working Procedures - Electrical Safety Rules
Around two thirds of all electrical accidents are caused by inadequate working practices and procedures. Companies without an electrical safety policy or rules may suffer from a lack of awareness by their employees of the skills necessary to work safely with electricity on-site.
NECTA has a wealth of experience in providing companies with electrical safety rules and procedures. We can carry out on-site studies of working practices to identify existing regulatory compliance gaps, assess risk and provide a bespoke 'safe system of work' framework for organisations to follow.
To identify your company's safe working procedure requirements, it is important to ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I know the risks arising from our activities?
- Do I know how to eliminate, control or reduce them?
- How do I communicate the above information to my staff?
- How do I know they are complying with those measures?
If you do not know the answers to the above 4 questions then our experienced staff here at NECTA will be happy to provide you with guidance and advice. Please contact us for further information.
