safety clearance

Safety clearance refers to the minimum physical distance or protective measures maintained between a worker and a hazard, such as high-voltage equipment or moving machinery, to prevent injury. It ensures that personnel are sufficiently distanced or shielded from potential dangers during operations. Safety clearances are determined based on industry standards and risk assessments to balance operational efficiency with worker protection. Adhering to these clearances helps prevent accidents, electrical shocks, or other hazards, ensuring a safe working environment for all personnel involved.
