It recommends a number of solutions in respect to protection against these dangers by prioritizing safety issues, strict adherence to standards and regulations, regular maintenance and upgrading of electrical equipment. It also examines the existing equipment and procedures in alleviating these problems and believe that if they are strictly comply with and adhere to, the upsetting dangers will be minimal
