We frequently talk about the importance of house wiring solutions. However, industrial solutions are equally, if not more, important. The reason is that there are multiple people working in an industrial space, and hence it is important to keep their safety in mind. Industrial switchgear should, hence, always be of the best quality. Apart from that, industrial pedestal fans in India are becoming extremely popular. These fans help keep the workspace cool without consuming a lot of electricity.

It is important to take safety precautions with these industrial pedestal fans because lack of maintenance can lead to employee injuries and you might also get sued. Here are some things you need to consider. These instructions should be clearly spelled out to all employees in order to avoid any legal implications caused by injuries due to employee negligence:

  1. The fan’s power supply should be unplugged before someone tries to move it. This ensures that you don’t trip on the plugged wire. Moreover, it also keeps you safe from any possible electrical shocks.
  2. These fans should never be used near water. We all know that electricity and water are not great partners. However, many industrial pedestal fans are placed on window sills. What happens if the fan is still on and it rains?
  3. Switch the power off before cleaning the industrial fan. Also, you shouldn’t remove the safety cover of the industrial fan without ensuring that the device is switched off. Never try to put your hands in when the fan is still turned on.
  4. Some of these industrial fans are large in size. Hence, it is imperative that they are serviced often. You should also make sure that all the parts work seamlessly. If there are some parts lose or there is some malfunctioning, it could lead to problems and create safety risks.
  5. Many of the industrial pedestal fans are placed on a height. Therefore, it is important that they are placed on stable surfaces. This reduces the chances of these fans tripping off. If a fan does trip off, it can lead to serious and in some cases even fatal injuries.
  6. Finally, it is important that you read the full manual of the industrial fan before you put that in use. All your employees should also be informed about the potential safety risk that these industrial fans can cause.

There is absolutely no dearth of stylish and good quality high speed fans in India. Many of these are also being used for industrial use. However, it is imperative that all safety precautions are taken to make sure that all workers are kept safe.
