As we known when working on electrical installations, safety matter is our priority.Every step we need to consider about hazards when perform electrical works.
Only competent electrician can work on electrical installation or live condition according to relevant industrial safety standards.Common industrial safety standard for electrical works such as VDE 0105 for Germany, and international standards for EN 50110 or IEC 60364.
For electrician,they need to special tools which have been tested and qualified with electrical standard.Hand tools also must suitable and followed the electrical standard IEC 60900 and it has specified worldwide requirements for tools for electrical live condition.
Introduction of Electrical Safety Precaution.
To get this certificated qualification,it must through the routine tested up to 10,000 volts to check their dielectric strength. The main purpose is to ensure it safe when touching live parts up to 1,000 VAC.
This time i want shared about basic safety precaution for electrical works.I hope it can be a basic guide line when we works for electrical installation.Below are listed some safety instruction :-
- Perform routine inspection before start any works to ensure the hand tools insulation condition and discard any defective tools.
