Document background
The Electrical Design Risk Assessment is a crucial document required for electrical installations in Malaysia, governed by the Electricity Supply Act 1990 and overseen by the Energy Commission of Malaysia. This assessment is mandatory for new electrical installations, major modifications, or when evaluating existing systems for safety compliance. It systematically identifies potential hazards, evaluates risks, and establishes control measures for electrical systems, ensuring compliance with Malaysian regulations and international safety standards. The document serves as both a technical guide and a legal requirement, protecting stakeholders from electrical-related incidents while demonstrating due diligence in risk management. It is particularly vital in complex installations where potential hazards could have severe consequences, and must be updated whenever significant changes are made to the electrical system.
