Electrical Safety in Public Healthcare Facilities and Medical Devices Management

Abstract

In hospitals, electrical hazards pose a serious risk that needs to be continuously assessed and improved. Medical surveillance systems and workplace assessments are frequently disregarded, and workers do not follow workplace instructions on safety precautions. The events are linked to a lack of understanding about the significance of electrical dangers and workplace safety and public health. Ignoring these evaluations could have negative effects on one's health, the quality of one's work, handicap, and impairment. The perspective of occupational safety and health on electrical dangers in hospital settings is described in this paper. Additional preventive actions were suggested in order to provide a list of workable and realistic actions that would create a safer and healthier workplace.
