Access Doors Address Electrical Hazards

Access Doors Address Electrical Hazards
Electrical risks are among the dangerous on construction sites - silent, sudden and often severe. A live wire or faulty tool connection behind a panel can cause serious injury without warning.

Electrical shock remains the cause of injury in construction, often occurring during routine tasks such as installing lighting, servicing HVAC units or managing temporary power.

Even with lockout tagout protocols in place, mistakes can still happen, especially under stress. Ensuring access points are secure, clearly labeled and properly enclosed is critical to minimizing the risk of accidental contact with electrical systems. Well-maintained access doors prevent contact with live wires and keep work areas organized.
