Professional electrical safety inspections and testing help prevent electrical failures, reduce fire risks, improve compliance, and protect your property, equipment, and occupants.
Identify electrical hazards, compliance gaps and system risks before they cause an accident, equipment failure or operational disruption. Speak with Aura’s electrical safety team to plan an assessment for your facility.

Aura supports organizations with coordinated electrical safety assessment and engineering services, including:
The scope can be configured as a standalone audit or combined with specialist electrical studies where system conditions require deeper analysis.
An electrical safety audit is a structured examination of electrical installations, operating practices, maintenance systems, records, and protective measures. It combines document review, discussions, physical inspection, testing where included in the agreed scope, and risk evaluation.
The audit is intended to answer four important questions:
The result should be more than a list of observations. A useful audit converts findings into risk-ranked actions that management, engineering, EHS, and maintenance teams can implement.
Depending on the facility and agreed scope, Aura may assess the following:
We begin by understanding the facility, electrical system, operating conditions, critical equipment, previous incidents, and the client’s compliance or risk objectives.
Available drawings, procedures, maintenance records, test reports, equipment information, and earlier audit findings are reviewed before or during the site assessment.
Our engineers inspect the agreed electrical installations and observe relevant work practices. Interviews with engineering, EHS, operations, and maintenance personnel help establish how systems are managed in practice.
Where included in the scope, the assessment may use thermography, earthing measurements, insulation-related test data, protection system review, load information, or supporting power system studies.
Findings are categorized by their potential consequences and required urgency. Immediate threats are separated from medium- and longer-term improvement opportunities.
Aura presents the findings, explains their significance, and provides recommended corrective actions. A close-out discussion helps stakeholders understand priorities, responsibilities, and appropriate next steps.
The exact deliverables are agreed upon before the engagement and may include
Where requested, Aura can support corrective-action planning or conduct a follow-up verification review.
Industrial facilities present risks beyond ordinary building wiring. Common findings include:
Early identification allows the organization to address these issues before they contribute to injury, fire, equipment failure, or unplanned shutdown.

The following are essential electrical safety basics for industrial and commercial facilities:
These principles do not replace a site-specific risk assessment, approved operating procedure, or applicable statutory requirement.
An electrical safety assessment should identify the requirements applicable to the facility, industry, equipment, voltage level, and jurisdiction.
For facilities in India, the reference framework may include:
The current national CEA reference is the Central Electricity Authority (Measures Relating to Safety and Electric Supply) Regulations, 2023, not merely the superseded 2010 edition. Official CEA regulations
The final scope should specify exactly which regulations and standards will be used. Avoid saying that every standard applies to every facility.
Aura’s electrical safety services can be configured for:

Use this practical checklist to review electrical panels, cables, earthing, protection systems, documentation and workplace safety controls at your facility.
Identifies arc flash hazards and defines safe working limits
Evaluates electrical risks to prevent failures and accidents
Analyzes power quality issues caused by electrical harmonics
Classifies hazardous zones for safe electrical equipment use
Assesses lightning threats and protection system needs
Optimizes relay settings for selective fault protection
Calculates fault currents to ensure system safety
Detects overheating in electrical equipment using infrared
Overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, and improper equipment use are leading causes of electrical incidents.
Key standards include IEC regulations, NFPA 70E for workplace electrical safety, and local building codes.
Maintaining equipment, reducing fault current, wearing arc-rated PPE, and updating protection systems help prevent arc flash events.
Grounding safely directs fault currents away, preventing shock, fire, and equipment damage.
Lockout-Tagout ensures equipment is de-energized and secured during maintenance to prevent accidental startup.
Inspection frequency varies by environment but is typically recommended annually or per regulatory requirements.
Most businesses should get a full check every year. If you have heavy machinery, you might need certain parts checked every six months.
A fuse is a small wire that melts and breaks when there is too much power. You have to throw it away once it blows. A breaker is a switch that flips. You can just flip it back "on" once the problem is fixed. Breakers are much safer and more common today.
Electrical safety services may include audits, physical inspections, document review, thermography, earthing assessment, arc-flash studies, protection studies, electrical HAZOP, training, and corrective-action support. The exact scope depends on the facility and its risks.
There is no single interval appropriate for every facility. Frequency depends on applicable regulations, industry requirements, voltage and equipment type, operating conditions, previous findings, modifications, incidents, and insurer requirements. High-risk or rapidly changing installations may require more frequent assessment.
Maintenance is intended to keep equipment in serviceable condition. An audit independently examines the wider system of hazards, compliance, work practices, documentation, maintenance effectiveness, and risk controls. The two activities complement each other.
No. Thermography detects abnormal heat patterns in operating electrical equipment. It can be an important audit input, but it does not replace assessment of protection, earthing, documentation, work practices, equipment condition, and other hazards.
Useful inputs include current single-line diagrams, equipment lists, earlier inspection reports, maintenance and testing records, incident history, operating procedures, protection settings, and details of recent system modifications.
Much of the document review and visual inspection may be completed during normal operation, but safe access, isolation, or a planned shutdown may be necessary for certain equipment or tests. This should be agreed during scope planning.
