Are there dangers associated with an infrared scan? |
|
Infrared imaging is a very complex and highly technical non-destructive examination technique that requires strict adherence to electrical safety precautions and site specific safety procedures. We cannot stress enough the importance of having a qualified and knowledgeable electrician opening energized gear during an electrical system inspection. The many hazards present include (but are not limited to): electrocution, shock hazards, arc flash, lacerations, etc. Certified thermographers are highly trained in electrical safety; however they are not as familiar with your facility as you are. So please help them remain safe by alerting them to any site specific dangers that could harm them or assisting personnel. |
