Ensuring Inspection Efficiency And Safety

These days, worker safety is a primary concern. The use of technologies like thermal imaging helps a great deal in ensuring effective inspections that help maintain safety.

The latest updates in the NFPA 70E ensures the adoption of safe work practices reducing the risk that workers face while dealing with equipment during normal conditions. NFPA 70E also deals with situations where there’s a high probability of being exposed to arc flash and arc light.

The Implementation of the Hierarchy of Control NFPA 70E has recently laid down a detailed risk assessment procedure. The objective is to implement the most effective method of control along with risk elimination.

Theprobable hazards are identified, the risks involved are assessed, and then finally a risk control regime is applied by the NFPA’s “Hierarchy of Risk Control Methods.”

It is a must to implement The Hierarchy of Risk Control Methods. It’s not optional anymore. There must be a systematic application of this hierarchy following its proper sequence. This helps in reducing any risk inherent to any inspection activity.

It may also remove the risk altogether. Six levels of control comprise The Hierarchy of Risk Control.

The next control level, also the one that’s less effective should be taken up only after the previous level is effectively handled.

Thermal imagery is gaining popularity with time. It has been accepted as an effective and efficient tool for in-depth analysis.

Thermal imaging helps greatly in electrical maintenance by detecting which parts in a power line are at risk of being overheated. That helps prevent leakages that may cause fire or electrocution. Even when inspecting pipes and pipe fittings for leakages, the technology of thermal imaging helps a great deal. As thermal imaging can locate leakages by detecting fluctuations in surface temperature, it can help locate cracks in pipes. That’s because a drop in temperature on a surface would indicate its contact with water. This in turn indicates water seepage on the surface through a crack.

The technology of thermal imaging also helps in ensuring the efficiency and safety of the inspection process during the construction of houses. It helps identify leakages in the insulation helping HVAC engineers with their work. It ensures that there are no issues with the building’s temperature control mechanism.

Inspection efficiency and safety during construction activities are made more effective with the use of thermal imaging. You won’t need to climb onto roofs to spot pests. Thermal imaging devices can even spot termites, very critical to the maintenance of buildings and an integral part of inspections.
