What is Electrical Safety Assessment and Audit?


An electrical safety assessment and audit is a study that aims at determining the safety, dependability, and conformity with standards of an electrical installation in a structure. It outlines risks, compliance with legal requirements, and safety measures regarding mild shocks, fires, equipment failures and energy wastage.

Key Components of Electrical Safety Assessment and Audit

    ∎ Regulatory Compliance:

  • ▸ Bangladesh possesses its own electrical code of regulation and standards that is primarily called , the Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) and the Bangladesh National Electric Code (BNEC). These regulations here outline the condition of electrical designs and installations as well as the safety standard for the electrical equipment’s and systems.
  • ▸ The assessment starts with a comprehensive overview of these regulations in order to gain an insight on the various regulations.

    ∎ Inspection of Electrical Installation:

  • ▸ Qualified persons examine electrical installations in several settings as they perform their assessments. These brackets can be residential, business, industrial as well as public buildings.
  • ▸ Inspections consist of checking wires, distribution panels, switches, outlets, luminaires and related devices. the other electrical components for signs of wear, damage or improper installation.
  • ▸ Inspectors also consider the general condition of electrical enclosures, the condition of the containment and from these environmental conditions or forces At this point in our discussion, it is important that we pay attention to the fact that.

    ∎ Risk Assessment:

  • ▸ Risk evaluation determines possible electrical threats and evaluates their risks and their impacts in the electrical systems.
  • ▸ risk; intensity and frequency. Risk like electric shock, arc flash, and fire are analyzed on parameters like the equipment risk. gum condition, system design, and, operational practices.
  • ▸ Risk assessment assists in coordinating the correction of different hazardous conditions and the prevention of such conditions.
