RR Kabel discusses electrical safety with industry leaders

RR Kabel and industry professionals discuss the significance of electrical fire safety and high-quality wires at ELECRAMA 2023.
Electrical short circuits, which frequently happen as a result of substandard wires and cables, are the main cause of fire incidents in India. Data from ASCI show that, over the past ten years, electrocution—which includes electrical fires and lightning—has accounted for around 73 percent and 16 percent, respectively, of all human fatalities. A little-known fact is that smoke inhalation kills more people during a fire outbreak than the fire itself.
Industry leaders consider it essential to inform the public and government about the significance of electrical fire safety in both new and existing structures. Companies need to find out right away if they are fire-safe. Systematic changes in the way spaces are built to produce a fire-safe environment must be implemented at the top management level. Regular fire audits and drills are essential for residential communities, especially high-rise buildings, which have a higher fire risk.
In light of this, the leaders stressed the necessity of drafting legislation to implement strict penalties against developers who use fake wires and cables or wires of inferior quality. India is experiencing a rising problem with counterfeit goods, which results in significant losses for the nation. Above all, because they are composed of subpar materials, counterfeit wires are a serious problem that puts customer lives in danger. Manufacturers of wire and cable have the potential to significantly improve national safety.
For instance, LS0H (Low Smoke, Zero Halogen) wires were initially made available in India by RR Kabel, as they claim to not release a hazardous mixture of gas, acid, and smoke in the event of an accident. Also, it is the only business in India with a 450001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, guaranteeing a safe and healthy working environment for all of its employees.
