subject: Certification: Essential Forensuring Employees Safety [print this page] In general term, Certification means that equipment meets a set of minimum. In most of the countries
today, the occupational safety and health administration met with nationally recognized safety requirements for fire,
electric shock, and related safety hazards. There are many agencies exist in all over the world which promises to
provide a certification to any of the organization that are in seek of it to ensure their company and employees safety
all the times.
If an organization wants to apply for electrical certification for their company and employees well being, they will
have to submit an application form filling all the details in the firm. The processing varies country to county and
mostly its non-refundable. The payment should be done with either a check or money order and a form sent in
without the fee often get denied. Once your application form has been processed, the Division Building Safety (DBS)
is going to give you with an examination sign up application form. After filling the form, you need to mail it to the
assessment service with some amount of charge.
Electrical safety certificates should be done by a very professional electrician or by a well-recognized and government
competent agency. The benefit of using a registered installer is that the member of schemes can deal with all the new
rules for you. Additionally, they will be qualified to carry out any electrical work. Their confirmation certificate will
provide complete opportunity to follow the new set rules by the government.
Step potential is the step voltage between the feet of an individual
standing near an agitated object. A person could get injured during a fault simply by standing near the grounding
point. However, touch potential is the touch voltage between the energized object and the feet of a person in
contact with the object. There might be a full voltage come across the grounded object if that object is grounded at a
point remote from the place where the person is in contact with it.
Ample of methods that can be used to protect employees from hazardous ground-potential gradients,
includeequip-potential zones, insulating equipment, and restricted work areas. Employees are always advised by the
firm not at all to handle grounded conductors or equipment likely to become energized to hazardous voltages unless
they are protected from certain insulating equipments that have capability to protect a person from even high voltage
