Aim of the Program
Electrical Safety Audit is performed by enquiry, inspection, testing and verification. Electrical Safety Audits are conducted by experienced professionals who assist clients in reducing risk and help to ensure compliance with applicable Safety Standards and Regulations
Reporting & Recommendations
- At the end of field study, a report with executive summery will be provided on the findings of the study and recommendations for next course of action. The report will include observations and recommendations based on the above scope of work and premises specific observations
- All reports will be produced in draft form as ‘Privileged and confidential – Prepared at request of “Garret motion India, Pune.,”
- The recommendations provided in the report would be categorized as per the following criteria:
Recommendation Category | Criterion |
HIGH | Recommendations that are provided to address existing statutory non-compliance, deviation from standard operating procedures defined by the company etc. |
MEDIUM | Recommendations that are provided to address deviations from practices prescribed by national / international standards applicable. |
LOW | Recommendations that are provided based on good engineering practices followed in similar industry |
