Electrical Safety & Compliance
A LOTO binder that satisfies nobody.
Most plants have one. The procedures came from a template with the facility name swapped in. They reference a disconnect that was removed in 2015. They instruct an electrician to "isolate all energy sources" without naming a single one. When a compliance officer asks for the procedure for one specific machine, there isn't one.
The requirement was never a binder. 29 CFR 1910.147 asks for a written energy control program, procedures specific to each piece of equipment, trained authorized and affected employees, and a documented inspection at least annually. Most programs pass on the first and fail on the rest.
Written by someone who walked the plant
An equipment-specific procedure names the actual disconnect, the actual valve, and the actual stored energy — the capacitor bank, the accumulator, the suspended load, the spring under tension. You cannot write that from a drawing in an office. Flashpoint writes procedures at the equipment, with the panel open, then verifies each one by walking it the way an electrician would.
That verification step is where template programs come apart. A procedure that can't be executed as written is not a procedure — it's a liability with a revision number on it.
Scope of work
- Written energy control program development
- Equipment-specific LOTO procedures
- Field verification of every procedure against the actual equipment
- Authorized and affected employee training
- Periodic inspection support
The annual inspection nobody runs
The periodic inspection is the requirement that quietly gets skipped, because nothing downstream is waiting on it and no one chases it. It is also close to the first thing asked for after an incident. We run it, document it, and correct what it turns up — which is usually a handful of procedures that drifted out of date when equipment changed and the paperwork didn't.
Bought at the same moment as arc flash
From the plant's side these are one purchase. Both are electrical safety compliance. Both get bought after an audit finding or an incident, usually by the same EHS manager or plant engineer, often in the same week — and both need someone who is licensed to open the gear rather than someone who models it.
If you're addressing one, ask about the other: arc flash implementation support.
