Un-plug your safety worries!!!!


Temporary Power Solved Permanently!!

           A short visit at the nearest construction site can speak thousand words for safety!! Imagine a workplace, a construction site where hundreds of people labour throughout the day, having no clue on the ill hazards or safety with regards to Electrical Power. It makes the project very challenging and at times difficult to ensure no accidents happen in such places.

           Temporary electrical power distribution system in any construction site requires a special attention. A minor shock can be the shock of your life if it causes a serious burn or a fall.


           Traditionally, the enclosures used for the system are sheet steel and some might agree for the use of a wooden board for the same. Just stop and have a look at some of these conventional installations, the picture will be clear. These are completely unsafe installations as the safety is compromised. Human lives are at stake. Every year Companies spend millions of rupees towards accident claims and insurance for casualties due to electrocutions.


           If you are a general contractor, an operative builder, a sub – contractor, an event organiser or a project manager, working on a specific construction site, Safety and safe power are the important requirements for you. To enjoy a safe and reliable source for temporary power, you need to select a power distribution board which is completely insulated and shock proof and focus only on safety and which has a solid reputation in this field.

           Temporary Power, at the constructions stage, is a must and a project cannot proceed ahead without the use of power as its required for every single job like welding, cutting, drilling, polishing, mixing etc. A fact remains on the safety aspect that drawing this power and making it available to people who have no real training is a daunting task. It would be a common scene to see unskilled people handling raw power from a typical panel using two wires and drawing it from live sockets. Sometimes these panels are just temporary like the power they feed making a life unsafe. Wooden Boards with unsafe sockets, Un-isolated Metallic panels are common as well.


           There are a good growing number of Builders, Project Contractors, Electrical Managers like you, who always have noticed these things and hunting for a change.
