Electric Safety Practice and Standards by Mohamed A. El-Sharkawi. The goal of this book is to provide electrical power engineers with the knowledge and analysis they need to be well versed in electric safety and to effectively transfer their skills to the relevant workers in their organizations. This book is very practical and can be used as a textbook worldwide since electric safety codes are very similar everywhere. This cognitive learning will certainly improve the safety of the worksites. However, unfortunately, most power engineers are not familiar with the electric safety practices governing site works. Besides the engineering analysis in all the aforementioned areas, the book includes several real-life case studies.
