Audit Conduct

We carried out a comprehensive Electrical Safety Audit that included a range of critical inspections and tests aimed at identifying potential hazards and ensuring compliance with safety standards. The scope of the audit covered:

  • Thermography Testing – to detect overheating and potential faults in electrical systems
  • Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) – to verify the safety of portable electrical equipment
  • Earth Resistance Testing – to ensure proper grounding and system protection
  • Illumination Level Check – to assess lighting adequacy for safe operations
  • Additional Safety Assessments – covering various other aspects of the electrical infrastructure

These evaluations were conducted to enhance system safety, prevent electrical incidents, and support effective risk management.

Protect your people, property, and processes.
