An Electrical Safety Audit (ESA) is a systematic approach to evaluate potential hazards and to recommend suggestions for  improvements of safe Electrical Installation, followed by Electrical Safety Standards. It is important tool for identifying  deterioration of standards, areas of risks vulnerability, hazards and potential accidents in plants for determining actions to  minimize hazards. It ensures that safety effort is effective & meaningful .
