ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN RETAIL INDUSTRY – Safety Guidelines
Commercial buildings in the retail industry are full of combustible products such as clothing, rubber, and goods, thus an electrical safety audit is required for protection. The retail industry covers a wide range of service outlets & a variety of businesses such as department & apparel stores, supermarkets, warehouses, etc.
The National Building Code of India — 2016, Part 4 — Fire and Life Safety, clearly mentions safety from fire: demarcation of fire zones, restrictions on construction of buildings based on occupancy, types of building construction according to fire resistance of structural and non-structural components.
Various Challenges the Retail Industry Faces
- Multi-locational operations
- Lack of qualified manpower to supervise/attend to complaints
- Inability to shut down operations for electrical problems, resulting in potentially unsafe workarounds
- A large number of people and/or high-value assets & equipment under one roof
- Lack of awareness among staff members on safety-related aspects (High attrition in this sector complicates training)
