Electrical Safety

Overview

Electricity is a safe and reliable energy source, but, like any other type of energy, it can be hazardous if not used with caution. We rely on electricity but sometimes underestimate its capability to cause injury. The information presented on this page is available to ensure that you have adequate information to stay safe around electrical hazards.


Any electrical work in KAUST is required to have an accompanying task-specific risk assessment and method statement. In addition, all work on electrical systems must be completed in conjunction with the KAUST SOP Isolation Lockout and Use of Hold Tags process.
