INTRODUCTION

The Electricity and Workplace Safety Heath and Safety regulatory frameworks
stipulate, inter alia, the need for an electrical installation to comply with the
SS638 requirements, and a temporary low voltage electrical installation in
construction and building sites, trade-fairs, mini-fairs and exhibition sites as
well as for festive lightings, the SS650 requirements. Designers, engineers and
