Electrical Hazard Detection Service

Electrical safety is a common practice for workers who handle and maintain electrically powered equipment. It is a set of guidelines that they adhere to in order to mitigate electrical hazards and prevent their dangerous effects in the event of an incident. Failure to follow electrical safety precautions can result in accidents, misses, or even deaths and injuries.

Electrical Hazard Detection (EHD) is a non-destructive electrical system test. EHDs are used to detect hidden electrical problems that could lead to a fire. Electrical Hazard Detection Services are done to reduce the risk of a fire.

Electricity is a hazard because it has the possibility of causing severe damage, but if managed correctly, the chances of harm are minimal. However, the severity of electrical hazards when things go wrong can be fatal or life-changing.

Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 applies to any work activity conducted in close proximity to electrical systems where danger may exist. As a result, the scope of the law does not apply only to electricians and electrical engineers, but also to mechanical engineers, construction workers, production staff, and office employees whose jobs may expose them to the dangers of electricity.
