FREE  Seminar-1 / 2022-IEEE IAS ChapterTechnical Talk on “"Electrical Safety Auditing Programme"”  / On 30-Nov-2022 / Wednesday/ Morning/ From 11.00 AM to 1.00 PM (IST)

***************************

Abstract - This session covers the use of auditing as an important element
of any electrical safety program. Auditing provides the means to
understand performance versus established standards and to identify
areas for continued improvement. To have an effective electrical safety
program, an auditing process must be an integral element of the electrical
safety program. The discussion will also include the incorporation of
auditing as a key element in an electrical safety management program.
