Electrical Safety & Compliance
You paid for the study. Who's implementing it?
An engineering firm charges $50,000 to $100,000 for an arc flash study. What arrives is a report, a spreadsheet of recommended breaker trip settings, and a box of labels. Then the firm cashes the check and leaves.
Six months later the labels are still in the box. Nobody dialed the recommended settings into the breakers. Half the equipment in the report can't be matched to anything on the floor. The study sits in a binder, and the facility is no more compliant than it was before it spent six figures.
Flashpoint does not perform arc flash studies. Flashpoint makes the study you already paid for turn into compliance you can put in front of an auditor.
The gap is field work
The report is the engineering deliverable. Compliance is a field deliverable — and field work was never in the engineering firm's scope. Somebody has to walk the plant with the report in hand, put the right label on the right piece of gear, open the breakers, and confirm the settings match what the study called for. That is the whole job, and it is the part that gets skipped.
Because Flashpoint didn't write the report, there's no incentive to defend it. When an as-found setting doesn't match the study, you get the discrepancy documented — not explained away.
Scope of work
- Label and sticker application across all assessed equipment
- Breaker trip setting verification — confirming as-found settings match the study's recommendations, and documenting every discrepancy
- Equipment reconciliation — locating and identifying the gear the study references
- Turnover documentation you can hand to an auditor or your insurer

Before the study: readiness prep
Studies stall. Often they get abandoned outright. The reason is almost always the same — panels have no schedules, and circuits were never traced. The engineering firm walks off the job with a version of "call us when it's traced out," because tracing isn't in their scope and they aren't equipped for it.
This is slow, unglamorous work. In a building from the 1970s with four rounds of undocumented additions, tracing circuits and rebuilding panel schedules takes months — not a site visit. It gets done with a meter, a set of prints that are wrong, and time. We say that plainly, because the alternative is a study that never starts.
- Circuit tracing and verification
- Panel schedule development and correction
- One-line diagram field verification
- Readiness assessment before a study is even bid
The study can't start until someone traces the circuits. That someone is us.
Working from a study that references gear nobody can find? A facility digital twin locates and tags every asset against your study line items. Addressing an audit finding? Lockout/tagout program development is usually the other half of the same corrective action.
