Electrical equipment must be maintained in a condition that provides maximum
safety. Regular maintenance should be done on all electrical equipment. Electrical
equipment manufacturers have to be progressive in developing inherently safer
designs. If they do not then they may find it mandated in regulations and standards.
Management must set the tone and provide the felt leadership to assure
electrical safety will be an important part of the job. Management needs to

Controls must be established.
Procedures need to be developed to provide the
guidance for those exposed to electrical hazards.
