Electrical assessment for safety is a recognized tool in the Occupational Health & Safety Management System Standards and in demonstrating due diligence to Occupational Health & Safety Regulations. By this system identifying potential electrical hazards to prevent or minimize the loss of life and property is perceived seriously. In this paper we have studied the requirements not only to reduce the risk of potential breakdowns and unplanned maintenance but also to bring further added value benefits in reducing repair costs, extending equipment life and improving operational efficiencies to follow a proper way of electrical safety audit. By focusing on a wider spectrum of inspection, testing methods and operational reviews in design of a power system is an assessment in safety and functional performances correctible and perfectible during its life cycle with risk and quality management. This paper provides the Electrical Safety Audit Process and considered several aspects of electrical audit system.
