Refocusing of electrical safety practices in Malaysia, considering uncontrolled and controlled parameters

This project examines the issue of electrical safety and the regulatory inspection system currently practiced in Malaysia. There are controlled parameters should be considered in this electrical safety such as people, equipment and managing system itself. This project is concerned on three types of...
