Electrical Safety Health and Safety Guidance Sheet

Ensure electrical safety in your workplace:

Electrical safety in the workplace is vitally important for protecting both employees and property. Electrical hazards, including electrical shocks, burns, and fires, can have severe consequences. To mitigate these risks, employers must ensure that all electrical equipment and systems are regularly inspected, properly maintained, and meet safety standards. Employees should receive training on safe electrical practices, such as the proper use of equipment and the necessity of turning off power before maintenance or repairs.

By prioritising electrical safety measures, employers can create a secure environment that minimises the potential for accidents and ensures the well-being of their staff.
