Type: article
Abstract: The research project’s primary goals were to develop occupational risk management protocols for people who perform maintenance tasks on electrical installations and, in turn, to develop new work tools designed to protect workers in those installations. The research project’s findings are presented in this paper. In order to check the behaviour of the safety characteristics of the protective equipment material under certain influence of professional risk factors, protective equipment materials were subject to tests. The components of in use or new electro-insulating equipment, were evaluated through sampling. Electro-insulating materials underwent dielectric, mechanical, attrition testing, and chemical agent application. The findings revealed the weakness of some electrical insulating materials whose declared duration of use exceeded five years after commissioning, necessitating the assessment of new technical standards for health and safety workplace.
