As per National Crime Records Bureau of India, around 15 people die every day due to electrical accidents ( Almost 3% total accident deaths) NFPA, USA studies reveal

electricity to be the ignition source for 22% of total fires.

ADVANCED ELECTRICAL SAFETY AUDIT For Manufacturing plants, Hotels, Hospitals, Hazardous installations and

Commercial buildings…

Fire hazards in India

On an average, in India, every year, about 25,000 persons die due to

fires and related causes. Female accounts for about 66% of those

killed in fire accidents. It is estimated that about 42 females and 21

males die every day in India due to fire. According to the statistics

released by the National Crime Records Bureau, fire accounts for

about 5.9% (23,281) of the total deaths reported due to natural and

un-natural causes during the year 2012. Probably many of these

deaths could have been prevented, had we taken enough fire

protection measures.

No comprehensive data is available in India on the economic losses

suffered on account of fires. However, according to one estimate the

major losses reported by the Indian Insurance Companies in the year

2007-2008 indicate, that about 45% of the claims are due to fire

losses. According to another estimate about Rs. 1000 crores are lost

every year due to fire. Fire losses are reported both in industrial and

non-industrial premises like hospitals, commercial complexes,

educational institutions, assembly halls, hotels, residential buildings,

etc… According to Fire Risk Survey (FRS) 2013, carried out by

Pinkerton & Federation of Indian Chambers and Industry, in India, fire

accounted for 8.45% of the overall ranking of risks. FRS also revealed

that fires has been rated as the 5th highest risk in industry in 2013.

The above survey also revealed that in industry wise risk ranking, fire

take 2nd place in hospitality, 4th place in IT/ITES, Manufacturing,

Security Service Providers and 6th place in infrastructure. As far as

the leading cause for the fire is concerned, according to the survey,

the electric defaults are regarded as the major cause of fires. In

Mumbai about 75% of fire-related incidents occur because of

short circuit caused by loose wiring.

The survey also point out that during the period 2009-2012, Mumbai

fire department had attended 13,185 incidents of fire out of which

9711 were caused due to defective electric circuit. The scenario for

other major cities are also not different.

Advanced Electrical Safety Audit

Advanced Electrical Safety Audit – First one of its kind in India, helps you to identify anomalies in Electrical installations which may lead to fire hazards, electric shocks, damage to equipments and lead to breakdown and production loss.

Advanced Electrical Safety Audit

Expert electrical scanning using Infrared thermography helps to identify hidden risk of fire, looseness or improper termination, improper crimping, inadequate earthing, thermal effects of harmonics, under rated or poor quality gadgets and accessories and many other issues which may lead to fire hazards, breakdown and energy wastage.

Electrical audit as per IEE / NEC standards helps to identify lapses in the electrical system and assures standard operation and maintenance . This would comply all local / Govt. standard practices and procedures to maintain an electrical system . Essential to protect human life and assets !
