Typical Scope of Study

– Verification of statutory compliance with respect to Indian Electricity standards

– Physical inspection to identify electrical hazards (shock, fire, explosion, overloading) and to suggest electrical
safety solutions

– Review of plant lightning protection system (need, adequacy, installation and maintenance)

– Review of static electricity hazards in plant operations (if applicable)

– Review of hazardous area classification and selection of flameproof electrical equipment in the plant, including
maintenance aspects (if applicable)

– Review of electrical preventive maintenance system (including tests, documentation, history cards, etc).

– Review of electrical accidents and near misses in the plant to identify root causes

– Review of electrical systems & procedures (work permits, interlocks, lockout tags, etc).

– Review of the importance given to electrical safety in the company safety policy, safety committee, continuous
electrical risk identification, etc.

– Assessing the integrity of insulation of cables by carrying out insulation resistance tests on a sample basis

– Review of the earthing system (installation & maintenance aspects), including sample earth resistance tests

– To identify areas of overloading by carrying out load current measurements and compare against cable current carrying
capacity calculation

– Hotspot detection using infra-red hot spot detection equipment/ thermal imaging (as necessary).
