Why Our Maintenance Services Can Benefit Your Company:

Our maintenance services are designed to provide comprehensive support, ensuring that your electrical systems remain safe, efficient, and compliant with industry standards. By implementing proactive inspections and preventative measures, we help you avoid unexpected downtime, costly repairs, and potential safety hazards. With our dedicated approach, you can focus on your operations while we handle the complexities of electrical system maintenance—ultimately improving your productivity and protecting your bottom line.

What You Will Get:

OSHA’s focus on electrical safety has expanded to include comprehensive preventive maintenance practices, referencing NFPA 70B to ensure equipment is maintained to prevent hazards. Companies without a documented electrical maintenance program risk inspections and citations under OSHA's General Duty Clause. Our NFPA 70B-compliant maintenance services help you stay ahead of enforcement actions and keep your systems safe, reliable, and compliant. Maintain a digital or physical log for all inspections and maintenance tasks. Review maintenance schedules periodically and adjust based on the condition and age of the equipment. Provide a quote to perform corrective actions promptly if issues are detected.
