Temporary electrical equipment Fire safety

 Temporary electrical equipment:


Temporary electrical installations often present

serious fire and shock hazards to employees.

All electrical installations and repairs should be

performed by qualified personnel and must

comply with applicable provisions of the

National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). The type

and size of conductors should be adequate

for the expected load. Proper fuses or circuit

breakers must be provided. Conductors must

be located off floors where possible and be

installed so as not to be subject to physical

damage. In areas containing flammable vapours,

smoking or dusts, only electrical equipment

specifically designed for use in such hazardous

locations should be used.
