The Dangers of Electrical Panels in the Workplace
Electrical panels are the nerve center of any building, distributing power where it’s needed. But with all that power comes a lot of responsibility—and risk. The National Electrical Code requires electrical panels to be placed in a location with ample clearance around them. There should be a 3 feet clearance in front of the electrical panels. The panel door must be able to open at least 90 degrees.
Electrical panels can be dangerous if not properly managed. We’re talking about serious hazards like electrical shocks, fires, and even explosions. It’s easy to forget just how much energy is coursing through those circuits until something goes wrong. That’s why keeping your workplace safe isn’t just about good practices—it’s about clear, effective communication. And nothing communicates safety better than well-placed, easy-to-read signs.
