In today’s blog, we would like to discuss electrical safety in your workplace. As the commercial electricians company in Sydney, the safe work environment is the priority for us. So we would like to give you a couple of tips that could protect you and your staff from potential electrical hazards.

If you are working on electrical circuits or with electrical equipment, you need to follow some golden safety rules.

Commercial Electricians in Sydney Safety Tips

• Stay away from energised electrical circuits.

Sounds obvious yes! But if something bad happens you probably won’t get a second chance.

• Think about electrical devices as if they were live or energised
• Make sure you always disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing any electrical device
• Use only equipment with non-conducting handles
• Don’t use metallic rulers or pencils.
• Take off rings, watches etc when working with electrical devices. Unfortunately, this rule is quite easy to forget.
• If it’s necessary to handle some plugged in equipment, make sure your hands are dry and if possible wear protective clothes
• If possible, work with one hand only.

• Try not to use electrical equipment in cold rooms or other areas where condensation is likely.
• If water or a chemical is spilt onto equipment, shut off power at the main switch
• If someone comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, don’t touch the equipment or the person.

• Devices that produce a “tingle” should be reported for repair
• Drain capacitors before working near them and keep the short circuit on the terminals to prevent electrical shock
• Don’t touch another’s person equipment unless instructed to do so
• Secure all electric contacts and conductors so no one can accidentally get in contact with them
• Don’t handle electrical equipment when your body is wet or when standing on a wet floor
• If it’s necessary to touch electrical equipment use the back of your hand. To avoid “freezing” to the conductor
• Don’t keep highly flammable liquids near electrical equipment

And for the end please have a look at a typical example of ignorance when it comes to basic electrical safety

As a leading commercial electricians company in Sydney, we would like to come up with weekly advice on how to make your business a better place to work for you and your employees.

Industrial properties in Sydney are one of the main electrical energy consumers in Australia. Heating, lighting, and office equipment use large amounts of energy. However, in today’s article, we would like to give you a range of steps companies can take to make their buildings more energy efficient.

• Industrial properties should have energy management plans that regulate the use of lighting, cooling and heating. The energy saving strategy should include optimising the usage of appliances to minimise costs while meeting the needs of tenants.

• Energy efficient lighting should be installed together with control sensors used to ensure that lights are on only when they need to be. The interior design of industrial buildings should favour the daylight over artificial one.

• Server rooms should be cooled efficiently with fans or located off-site.

• Offices also should be equipped with energy efficient devices. Old copiers and computers should be replaced with power saving modern alternatives wherever it’s possible.

Studies done by Caslec Commercial Electricians show that also employees are happier and more efficient when working in a healthy office environment.
