Action Needed

Immediate attention needed to rectify the

issue and comply with statutory
requirements
Equipment with appropriate enclosure,to
be installed.
Minimum clearance to be ensured.
Replaced with IS approved materials.
Modify to meet the recommendation.

“Earth” connection to be provided as per

recommendation
“Neutral” points have to be grounded as
per recommendation
Lightning or surge arrestor to be properly
placed and connected
Salt and water to be added to earth pit to
reduce earth resistance.
Damaged portion of insulation to be
repaired, insulation resistance to be
beyond 1 Mega Ohm.
Missing flexible earth links to be put at the
earliest.
Room to be cleaned, water wiped out, all
holes for water entry, to be blocked.

Push button to be replaced, safety

checked by simulation
Relay to be properly set and fault
condition to be simulated to check and
ensure healthiness of the protection
system.

Meter, its C.T. and P.T., as required, to be

replaced immediately.
Termination to be tightened properly
Load must be restricted within the design
limits, loose connection, if any, shall be
set right.

Lighting fixtures and its associated

circuits to be checked and rectified.

To be put at their designated places

immediately and persons trained on
procedure for shock treatment
Immediately work authorization procedure
to be implemented
Standard good quality components to be
used
Missing labels or tag- marks or ferrules to
be put as per drawing.
Drawing or documents to be kept in the
dedicated pockets in panels

Clean periodically.
Spare holes to be blocked.
