Electrical Safety Research Group
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, Japan
The Electrical Safety Research Group is dedicated to the prevention of industrial hazards caused by electrical energy and to the development of electric, electronic, and information technologies that can be applied for industrial safety purposes.
Our research subjects are the investigation of the ignition mechanism due to electrostatic discharges, development of antistatic applications, explosion-protected electrical installations, prevention of malfunctions of electronic equipment and systems due to electromagnetic noises, and prevention of electric shock hazards.
Research findings and related technical information are edited and published as Technical Recommendations(TR).
