Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Electrical installation and maintenance (EIM) is a critical area of study that plays a vital role in
the development of modern infrastructure. However, working with electricity can be dangerous,
and it is essential to understand the risks involved in EIM activities. Hazards and risks associated
with EIM can significantly impact the performance of EIM students, affecting their academic
achievements, employability, and safety. This research aims to investigate the impact of hazards
and risk in electrical installation and maintenance on the performance of EIM students.
● Identify the hazards and risks associated with electrical installation and maintenance
activities in EIM training programs.
● Evaluate the impact of hazards and risks on the performance of EIM students.
● Investigate the effectiveness of safety measures and risk management practices in EIM
training programs.
● Develop recommendations for improving safety and risk management practices in EIM
training programs.
1. What are the hazards and risks associated with electrical installation and maintenance
activities in EIM training programs?
2. How do hazards and risks affect the performance of EIM students?
3. What safety measures and risk management practices are in place in EIM training
programs?
4. What recommendations can be made for improving safety and risk management practices
in EIM training programs?
This research is significant because it aims to improve the safety and performance of EIM
students by identifying and addressing the hazards and risks associated with electrical installation
and maintenance activities. By understanding the risks involved in EIM, students can develop the
knowledge and skills needed to mitigate those risks and work safely and effectively in their
careers. This research will also contribute to the body of knowledge on electrical safety and risk
management practices, providing valuable insights for EIM educators, employers, and
policymakers.
1.6 Scope of the Study
This research focuses on hazards and risks associated with electrical installation and maintenance
activities in EIM training programs. The study will be limited to students in EIM programs in a
single institution. The research will also be limited by the availability and accessibility of data
and resources related to EIM safety and risk management practices.

Literature Review
2.1 Introduction
This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the literature on hazards and risk in electrical
installation and maintenance and their impact on the performance of EIM students. The literature
review aims to identify gaps in knowledge and highlight key findings related to EIM safety and
risk management practices.
2.6 Summary
This literature review highlights the importance of understanding the hazards and risks
associated with electrical installation and maintenance in EIM programs and their impact on the
performance of EIM students. Effective safety measures and risk management practices are
critical for promoting a safe and supportive learning environment and improving the
performance of EIM students. Further research is needed to address the gaps in knowledge and
develop more effective strategies for promoting EIM safety and performance.

Methodology
3.1 Introduction
This chapter outlines the methodology used to investigate the hazards and risk in electrical
installation and maintenance on the performance of EIM students. The research aims to identify
the extent of hazards and risk in EIM activities, the impact of these hazards and risk on the
performance of EIM students, and the effectiveness of safety measures and risk management
practices in EIM programs.
3.6 Limitations
The limitations of this study include the small sample size and the potential for response bias
from the participants. The study will also be limited to EIM students at a selected TVET
institution and may not be generalizable to other institutions or contexts.
3.7 Summary
This chapter outlines the methodology used to investigate the hazards and risk in electrical
installation and maintenance on the performance of EIM students. A quantitative survey design
will be used to collect data from a sample of EIM students at a selected TVET institution. Ethical
considerations will be observed, and the data collected will be analyzed using descriptive and
inferential statistical methods. The limitations of the study are acknowledged, and the findings
will be used to inform recommendations for improving EIM safety and performance.

4.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the results of the study on hazards and risk in electrical installation and
maintenance on the performance of EIM students. The chapter begins by describing the
characteristics of the sample, followed by a summary of the responses to the questionnaire. The
results are presented in relation to the research questions and objectives.
The students reported varying levels of awareness and utilization of safety measures and risk
management practices. The most commonly reported safety measures were the use of PPE
(68%), regular safety inspections (51%), and emergency procedures (48%). However, only about
a third of the students (34%) reported receiving regular safety training.
4.7 Conclusion
This chapter has presented the results of the study on hazards and risk in electrical installation
and maintenance on the performance of EIM students. The findings suggest that hazards and risk
in EIM activities have a negative impact on the performance of EIM students and that the
effectiveness of safety measures and risk management practices is important in mitigating these
negative effects. The results provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for improving
EIM safety and performance. These findings will be discussed in detail in the next chapter.
Chapter 5
5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a discussion and conclusion of the study on hazards and risk in electrical
installation and maintenance on the performance of EIM students. The chapter begins by
summarizing the main findings of the study, followed by a discussion of the implications of these
findings. The chapter concludes with recommendations for future research and practical
implications for EIM education and practice.
5.5 Conclusion
In conclusion, the study provides insights into the hazards and risk in electrical installation
and maintenance on the performance of EIM students. The study highlights the need for a
more comprehensive and systematic approach to hazard identification, risk assessment,
and risk management in EIM activities. The study also underscores the importance of
addressing the negative effects of hazards and risk on the performance of EIM students,
and the need for a supportive and enabling learning environment that promotes safety
awareness, skills development, and risk management competence. The study provides a
foundation for future research and practical implications for EIM education and practice,
as well as the broader electrical industry.
