Energy Safety Audit – Protecting Your People, Property & Power Systems
At PurityElec, we understand that energy safety is not just about saving electricity — it’s about preventing hazards, avoiding downtime, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Our Energy Safety Audit service is designed to identify, evaluate, and eliminate electrical risks before they turn into costly incidents.
What is an Energy Safety Audit?
An Energy Safety Audit is a comprehensive inspection and analysis of your electrical infrastructure to detect:
• Overloaded circuits & equipment
• Loose connections and overheating risks
• Faulty wiring & outdated components
• Poor grounding or earthing systems
• Harmonic distortions & reactive power issues
• Compliance gaps with IS/IEC safety standards
We use advanced testing tools and industry best practices to ensure your facility is safe, efficient, and legally compliant.
Why Energy Safety Matters
Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of industrial fires, equipment failures, and costly downtime. Without regular safety checks, you risk:
• Fire hazards from overheated cables and faulty insulation
• Equipment damage due to power surges, harmonics, or unbalanced loads
• Regulatory penalties for non-compliance with safety standards
• Unexpected shutdowns affecting production and revenue
Our Energy Safety Audit Process
1. Pre-Audit Consultation – Understand your facility’s power system and operational needs.
2. On-Site Inspection – Detailed physical and thermal imaging checks of panels, cables, and equipment.
3. Electrical Testing & Measurement – Power quality analysis, earthing resistance testing, and load monitoring.
4. Safety Gap Identification – Highlight risks, inefficiencies, and compliance issues.
5. Recommendations & Solutions – Provide actionable steps to enhance safety and efficiency.
6. Follow-Up Support – Assistance with implementation, monitoring, and retesting.
