Closing an Electrical Safety Gap After a Facility Acquisition
Total Win: $48K
THE CHALLENGE
A New Owner’s Safety Standards Exposed an Electrical Gap
After acquiring a manufacturing facility, the new parent company found that the site’s existing safety measures fell short of its standards. Leadership set out to build a stronger safety culture, starting with electrical safety.
The first step was getting accurate one-line diagrams of the facility’s electrical system to share with a service provider. No one could scope that work without knowing exactly which equipment needed assessment.
THE SOLUTION
An On-Site Device Count That Defined the Full Scope
- $48K arc flash risk assessment and infrared thermographic scan
- A clearly defined scope of work, built from an accurate device count
- A clear first step toward the safety culture the new owner set out to build
THE RESULTS
A Fully Scoped Assessment Built on Accurate Data
- $55K hydration program fulfilled through the facility’s existing distribution partner
- Uninterrupted supply for about 3,000 employees during peak heat
- A repeatable plan built on real consumption data instead of standard order patterns
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Signs Your Electrical Safety Program Needs a Fresh Look
Electrical safety gaps often surface during transitions. Take a closer look if your site has:
- Changed ownership through a merger or acquisition
- Missing or outdated one-line diagrams
- An arc flash study that hasn’t been reviewed in several years
- Equipment changes since the last assessment
