Equip Maint - Medium Risk
Your equipment maintenance practices show some areas for improvement. While not critical, optimizing your maintenance schedule and addressing aging components can prevent future issues.
Action: Consider implementing or enhancing your preventative maintenance program and scheduling an inspection for older infrastructure.
Equip Maint - Low Risk
Your facility appears to have good practices regarding electrical equipment condition and maintenance.
Action: Continue your current preventative maintenance schedule and stay vigilant for signs of aging or wear.
Electrical Safety Inspections
Inspections
0 / 100
Insp - High Risk
Infrequent or lack of regular electrical safety inspections significantly increases the risk of undetected hazards.
Action: Schedule a comprehensive electrical safety inspection, including thermal imaging, as soon as possible.
Insp - Medium Risk
Your inspection frequency could be improved. Regular checks, including thermal imaging, are key to proactive safety.
Action: Consider increasing the frequency of your inspections and incorporating thermal imaging if not already standard practice.
Insp - Low Risk
Your facility maintains a good schedule for electrical safety inspections.
Action: Ensure this continues and that records are well-maintained.
