My attendance at a recent pre-bid conference provided further insight into the goals of many companies that currently advertise they conduct Arc Flash Analysis. As an employer, you are required to have an Electrical Safety Program in place that addresses maintenance procedures, lockout tagout, PPE Policy, Training Requirements, Live Work Permits, and Arc Flash Analysis. The Safety Policy is the foundation that holds all of this together. Sure, you can buy PPE off the internet, Arc Flash off the Internet, Labels off the Internet, the NFPA 70E Book off the Internet, but if the company(s) chosen to do all of this is not able to tie it all together in a policy that can be implemented and put in place and understood by your workers immediately, you still have not accomplished your goal. Choose a company that can be your partner in safety, a company that will write your safety policy, help you implement PPE and Training, and be there to Improve Workplace Safety and Performance, not just there to apply labels. At Lewellyn Technology, we will write your comprehensive Safety Policy because it’s our obligation, not our product.
