Electrical Safety, Fire Safety Engineering And Safety Management

Electricity is essential in modern life, both at home and on the job. Some engineers, electricians, technicians, and workers work with electricity directly. Others work with it indirectly. Electricity has become such a familiar part of our daily life, many of us don’t give much thought to how much our work depends on a reliable source of electricity. More importantly, we tend to over look the hazards electricity poses and fail to treat it with the respect it deserves.
