The Health and safety regulations in Electrical Engineering Environments
In this essay, the safety regulations and legislature in electrical testing at work are considered. Under these circumstances, workers can be injured by exposed electrical parts or metal-works. Therefore, the safety regulations protecting workers under such circumstances include risk assessment regulations, management of electrical testing, establishment of safe test areas, and protection of the persons carrying out the tests (Crandall & Sieber 1996, p. 533).
Features of the Above-mentioned Regulations
Risk Assessment Procedures and regulations
These regulations require that the worker should follow strict risk assessment protocols, which allow for the establishment of necessary precautions before beginning electrical tests. Moreover, the worker should determine the possibility of working with a dead or energized equipment. Furthermore, under these regulations, the competence of testers should be determined before being used for testing (Greenberg & Cramer 1991, p.34).
Regulations involving the process of Electrical Testing
These provisions require the management to provide safe working surroundings to avoid accidents. Additionally, the workers should be provided with a safe working system. And finally, the workers should co-operate with the management in taking the appropriate precautions for their safety and that of co-workers (Crandall & Sieber 1996, p. 536).
