BASIC ELECTRICAL SAFETY MEASURES IN LOW
VOLTAGE INSTALLATION
Approximately 723 people are electrocuted annually per 100 million population in India
according to a presentation made on National Workshop on Electrical Safety 12thApril,
2016. This figure is multiple times high in comparison to other nations. The presentation
also gave a safety score of 16 % for India which is the least out of all G20 nations. Reports
from the media claim over 80 % of fire accidents in Mumbai are due to short circuits. Video
of Webinar – Part 1 (introduction and keynote address)
Most often ELECTRICAL SAFETY is used as a marketing tool rather than applying it
practically. An analysis on the electrical wiring shows a big scope for improvement, which
are mandatory for achieving “ELECTRICAL SAFETY” in buildings. Often electrical installations
in modern and critical building lack fundamental safety measures. In several cases
nonelectrical engineers design, erect and maintain a critical electrical installation.
The webinar will explain fundamentals of “Electrical safety in an installation” and the
modern measures necessary in a building to make “Electrical safe buildings”.
