WEBINAR DESCRIPTION

Time-based, open-panel electrical inspections are costly to a company and dangerous to the personnel conducting the inspection. Companies are adopting condition based maintenance strategies to overcome the anticipated shortage of skilled tradesmen in the future. 75% of qualified electricians are over the age of 45 and 35% are over the age of 55, and as retirement approaches, companies are struggling to back fill these positions. A condition based maintenance program utilizing the latest technologies ensures that critical data can be easily and routinely collected in a safe, economical and effective manner by personnel at any skill level.

LEARNING TAKEAWAYS

– Modern Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) programs train new engineers and skilled labor in asset reliability and in using the latest technologies that can find a problem with an electrical asset and fix it before it fails.
– As electrical systems become more complex, companies are searching for cost-effective strategies to improve uptime and avoid unnecessary downtime and potential loss of revenue.
– Products and services exist to safely and routinely inspect energized electrical components without having to schedule a shutdown and have personnel dress in PPE.
– These products and services help companies comply with the latest safety regulations such as NFPA 70E 2018.
