Abstract:
This review paper examines the theoretical frameworks guiding electrical safety practices in water treatment facilities, with a focus on comparative analysis between Africa and the United States. It highlights the importance of electrical safety in mitigating risks associated with the operation of these facilities. It underscores the role of regulatory, cultural, economic, and technological factors in shaping safety practices. By analyzing the regulatory context, theoretical approaches, and challenges and opportunities within these regions, the paper identifies best practices and innovative solutions that can inform global standards for electrical safety. The comparative analysis reveals significant differences in regulatory frameworks, the application of theoretical models, and the adoption of safety practices, offering insights into the adaptability and flexibility required to improve electrical safety outcomes globally. The review emphasizes integrating diverse theoretical perspectives and practical experiences to enhance worldwide electrical safety standards and practices in water treatment facilities. Through this analysis, the paper contributes to the development of comprehensive, adaptable, and globally applicable safety frameworks, highlighting the need for international collaboration and knowledge exchange to achieve optimal safety levels across different regions.
