Introduction

Electrical cables, wires, machinery, tools and appliances are commonly deployed and used in temporary electrical supply for various construction worksites, trade-fairs, mini-fairs and exhibition sites. These could pose significant workplace health and safety risks as well as risk of fire.  In this regard, SS650 Part I and Part 2 are the Singapore Standards set up to help protect human from potential electrical hazards. The understanding and implementing the safety measures in SS650 could mitigate/prevent accidents, fire, injuries, and even fatalities at these workplaces.
