2. Hazard Mitigation & Fire Risk Control

• Proactively identify electrical hazards: loose connections, overloading, hotspots, unauthorized modifications, and unsafe proximity to combustible materials (cotton, fabric, packaging, chemicals).

• Validate the accuracy of thermographic (IR) scans, insulation resistance tests, earth pit tests, and earth-leakage protection trips; oversee preventive maintenance (PM) schedules.
