 ELECTRICAL
HAZARD

Electricity can kill or severely injure people

and cause damage to property.
WHY?
AND
HOW?
 5 PRIMARY CAUSES

1. FAULTY OUTLETS AND APPLIANCES

2. LIGHT FIXTURES
3. EXTENSION CORDS
4. SPACE HEATERS
5. WIRING
 FAULTY OUTLETS
AND APPLI ANCES

-Never use an appliance with a worn, damaged or frayed cord because it can
apply heat to flammable surfaces.
-Don’t use it if the receptacle is loose.
-Never run cords under rugs.
-Never remove the grounding plug from a cord, modify a three prong plug or
force a three-prong plug into a two-prong outlet.
 LI GHT FI XTURES

-Always use light bulbs within the maximum wattage called for by the light
fixture.
-Faulty light fixtures and lamps often cause fires as well. Never put anything
flammable, like paper or fabric, over a lampshade for decoration or effect.
-If a lamp or light fixture seems overly hot when on, decrease the wattage of
the bulb.
 EXTENSI ON CORDS

-Have an electrician install electrical outlets where you need them, instead of
relying on extension cords.
-Never run cords under rugs and don’t overload the extension cord with a lot
of devices.
 SPACE HEATERS

-Make sure you use only the most current model with modern safety features
and that it is the right size for the space you are heating.
-Never leave them unattended. You can easily have a dedicated electrical
circuit put in for your space heaters to plug into, but in any case; they should go
directly into the wall, not an extension cord.
WI RI NG

-Older wiring, such as that over 20 years old, is unable to cope with the new
appliances of the times, such as video game systems, air conditioners, and wide
screen TVs. The same is true of old breaker boxes, which can develop worn
connectors that won’t trip the breakers, thus overloading the system and
resulting in electrical fires. Since adding all these new devices causes an
increase in the total power required and can therefore exceed the original
capacity of your home’s wiring, replacing the service panel with a new one
having a higher amp rating will allow for the added load caused by the new
devices.
 OVERVIEW OF
AN ELECTRICAL
PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
Electrical preventive maintenance
refers to maintenance procedures
that are performed to prevent
damage and malfunction to
electrical connections and local
networks.
 ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE IS TYPICALLY
PERFORMED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:

RESIDENTIAL LOCATIONS: HOUSES, APARTMENTS/CONDOS, AND MOBILE HOMES

ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY.

RESIDENTIAL LOCATIONS: HOUSES,

APARTMENTS/CONDOS, AND MOBILE HOMES ARE
INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY.

I NDUSTRI AL AND COMMERCI AL

ESTABLI SHMENTS: THESE I NCLUDE FACTORI ES,
HOTELS, SHOPPI NG MALLS, ENTERTAI NMENT
CENTERS, ETC.

HEALTHCARE AND SPECIAL OCCUPANCIES: HOSPITALS,

ASSEMBLY LINES, STORAGE AREAS, BOATYARDS/MARINAS,
AND THEATERS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS CATEGORY.
 WHY SHOULD EVERY FACILITY HAVE
AN ELECTRICAL PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM?

Without regular inspection and maintenance,

equipment failure can lead to catastrophic
safety hazards, infficiency, and inflated
maintenance costs. The average failure rate
of electric equipment increases by 300%
without an EPM program.

Monitoring of running electrical systems in Class I, II, and III
hazardous locations.
Initial and finished surveys of special occupancy units.
RESIDENTIAL LOCATION
CHECKLIST
 WHERE
DO
WE BEGIN?
FOUR ACTION
ITEMS OF
PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE


INSPECTION:

Inspections are a necessary part of preventive

maintenance. Inspections ensure that equipment is
safe to use and that it is functioning as the
manufacturer intended.

 DETECTION:

Preventive maintenance helps detect problems

early, when issues are still relatively easy and
inexpensive to fix.

CORRECTION:

Preventive maintenance encourages to take a

proactive approach towards equipment care and
correct issues before they occur.

 PREVENTION:

Prevention of asset failure reduces stress and

increases productivity for facilities teams. When
equipment works as inspected, staff can focus on
proactive (rather than reactive) maintenance tasks.

 THINGS TO CHECK
DURING A PREVENTIVE

irregularities.

Ensure equipment grounding conductors are

suitable for use according to the size and quantity of
equipment.

Examine lighting outlets and ensure they are properly

wider on general lighting circuits.
 Inspect wall and countertop receptacle spacing and
proximity to heat, cold, and water sources.

Survey relevant receptacle outlets for branch circuit

type (ensure they’ re supplied by small appliance
circuits).

Identify and repair frayed wires close to water outlets in

bathrooms.

Look for irregular wiring arrangements and lighting

outlets on walls.


Check the grounding electrode conductor connections

and buried connections for heat damage or suitable
placement.

 Disassemble battery tripping packs and check for signs of
general battery integrity and any signs of corrosion or heat
damage.

Perform thermal imaging surveys using precise thermography

equipment.

Check for signs of persistent overheating and single out

specific areas for repair or part replacement.

Inspect motor control circuits and check for appropriate

overcurrent protection.

Check if multi-unit conductors are properly supplying to all

connected units and if they are rated for their connections.

Verify that ground-fault and feeder short-circuit protection

is sized according to the specific application.

Inspect transformers for any failsafe elements or means of

disconnecting immediately.

Conduct a detailed survey of all machinery and moving

systems (elevators, dumbwaiters, and platform lifts), check
for proper wiring, and ensure correct voltage supply.

HEALTHCARE AND SPE CIAL

OCCUPANCIES CHECKLIST
 Special occupancy centers are facilities
that house people for specific non-residential or
commercial purposes

Depending on the scale of the facility and

the quantity of electrical equipment inside it,
special occupancy centers could have varying
preventive maintenance needs.
CHECKLIST:

Determine proper classification and review the definitions of the areas

Ensure all patient-care and waiting areas have proper insulation along the
panel boards and outlets.

Confirm if the space behind patient beds has at least eight receptacles

Ensure that every critical patient care area has at least one dedicated
receptacle that’s supplied by a critical branch circuit.

Ensure that every operating room has at least 36 individual receptacles, with
provisions for more.

Check to see if the power source and feeder capacity is adequate and review
the load calculations for essential systems.

Inspect power supply routes to critical life-support systems and perform

detailed checks on dedicated backup generators connected to those
systems.

Inspect, repair, and/or replace the supply lines for all alternate power
sources.

Check all lighting sources for signs of usage-based wear and dimming
(replace as necessary).
Identify any areas within the facility that are using more power than
they should and isolate the source of the extra consumption.
Relocate excess power consumers and balance supply as needed
for smooth functioning.

Healthcare facilities can specifically benefit from

preventive maintenance as they house human patients and other
high-risk elements that require a steady supply of power.
 DEVELOPING AN
ELECTRICAL
PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
CHECKLIST WITH
TODAY'S
CONSIDERATIONS
 What to
consider when
Developing an
Electrical
Preventive
Maintenance
Schedule?

 The concept of preventive maintenance stems from

performing minor upkeep before the end of the equipment
lifecycles in order to save time and resources and eliminate the
need for emergency maintenance.

In light of this, any current maintenance checklist has to

consider some crucial factors

Individual Equipment Lifecycle

Maintenance Management Software
 Individual equipment lifecycle

Performing the same level of maintenance on all equipment is

not ideal or cost-effective, and certainly not among the
recommended practices for today’s electrical equipment.

It is more beneficial to bunch together machinery that

requires a similar approach to maintenance, and work on
those batches separately but simultaneously.
 Maintenance management software

Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS)

systems are being used all over the world to streamline maintenance
and better manage maintenance activities.

Integrating such software into your maintenance framework

will allow personnel to function better and complete maintenance
tasks sooner, all while eliminating redundant tasks and saving
resources.
What is Electrical Preventive
Maintenance Software?
Electrical Preventive Maintenance Software

also called computerized maintenance management system

(CMMS)

supports and documents electrical maintenance tasks

The basic functions include work order management, preventive

maintenance scheduling, inventory control, safety documentation,
and asset management
Benefits of EPMS

Reduced accidents
Minimized unplanned breakdowns or downtime
Improved safety
Better communication
Enhanced scheduling
Greater control over costs of maintenance
Expanded inventory control
More energy conservation.

 FINAL
THOUGHTS
As the global industrial and residential landscape
shifts to a more tech-forward approach to daily
function, we’ll see old processes being replaced by
new, more efficient ones.

The same goes for traditional preventive

maintenance.

In conclusion, the more effective your preventive

measures are, the greater your chances of having
facilities run without fault for longer.
