Electrical safety in chemical industries is important to prevent electrical shocks, fires, and other hazards:
Inspect electrical systems: Regularly inspect all circuits and wiring to ensure they are properly installed and functioning. Electrical servicing companies can conduct these inspections.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE): PPE is specialized clothing that protects against electrical hazards.
Avoid damaged insulation: Damaged insulation can cause electrocution and fires. If you notice damaged insulation, report it immediately and take the equipment out of service.
Avoid improper grounding: Ungrounded electrical equipment can cause fires and electrical shocks.
Avoid overloaded circuits: Overloaded circuits can happen when too many devices are plugged into one circuit or outlet.
Avoid using extension cords as permanent wiring: Unplug extension cords at the end of the day.
Mount multi-plug adapters off the floor: Mount multi-plug adapters a few inches off the floor to avoid water damage.
Be aware of sparks: Sparks from electrical equipment can ignite flammable or explosive vapors.
Be aware of loss of power: Loss of electrical power can create hazardous situations.
