DOSH & Electrical Compliance: A Guide for Kenyan Institutions

Workplace electrical safety in Kenya sits within a clear regulatory framework. For institutions — especially those operating large premises or branch networks — staying compliant protects people, satisfies insurers, and avoids penalties.

The key standards

  • Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 2007 — workplace safety obligations
  • DOSH (Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services) requirements
  • EPRA regulations for energy and solar installations
  • KEBS and IEC standards for equipment and installation quality

What compliance looks like in practice

Compliance is not a one-off event. It requires periodic electrical safety audits, proper documentation, competent personnel, and a remedial process for closing out findings. Many organisations are technically non-compliant simply because their documentation and inspection cycles have lapsed.

Staying audit-ready

We help institutions build a repeatable compliance programme — scheduled audits, standardised reporting, and clear remedial tracking — so you are always ready for inspection and your risk committee always has current data.

Get in touch to design a compliance and audit schedule that fits your organisation.
