Electricity has great potential to seriously injure and kill. A system should be in place to assess the electrical equipment that is used in your workplace. If the electrical equipment operates in or is affected by a hostile environment it must be regularly inspected and tested and maintained by a competent person. As an employer you are responsible for ensuring the electrical equipment in your workplace is safe and where required regularly inspected, tested and maintained.
Thermal images are actually visual displays of the amount of infrared Energy emitted, transmitted, and reflected by an object. A thermal imaging camera is capable of performing algorithms to interpret that data and build an image. Although the image shows the viewer an approximation of the temperature at which the object is operating, the camera is actually using multiple sources of data based on the areas surrounding the object to determine that value rather than detecting the actual temperature.
