What safety precautions should I take during an infrared survey? |
|
In short, you are responsible for all safety precautions needed to perform an infrared scan safely. The thermographer is a vendor, and just like all contractors or vendors, ultimate responsibility falls under you. What types of precautions are unique for thermographers? For starters, they are likely dealing with live electrical equipment, confined spaces, heights (roof inspections), bulky PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), while carrying a very sensitive camera. A good conversation with the thermographer about inherent dangers in your plant is key for the initial walk through. We also recommend that the thermographer is always escorted by a plant employee to help ensure safety. Feel free to use our free Infrared QuickStart package to help prepare yourself for the upcoming infrared inspection. It contains great information for setting up and accomplishing an infrared scan safely. |
