Infrared (IR) electrical scans from e-Hazard quickly find and help solve problem areas in your electrical systems. IR electrical scans are needed because electrical system components put out excess heat caused by increased resistance when something is not working properly. IR electrical testing helps determine wiring errors, overloaded systems, loose connections, damaged switchgears, or components that are likely to fail. e-hazard.com/arc- flash-services/thermal-or-infrared-ir- electrical-system-scan/ SHOWER AND EYEWASH TEST Weekly activation of safety showers is now a quick and dry process with Green Gobbler Safety.
