Turning the numbers into daily practice

A completed study changes nothing on its own. What changes outcomes is the label on the panel, the permit that references it, and the contractor who was given the information before starting work.

What We Deliver

Labels built to survive the environment

Labels carry incident energy, working distance, boundary and PPE, printed on material rated for the heat and humidity of a Philippine plant room. A label that has lifted or faded within a year is not a control.

THE GAP

The study nobody acted on

Sites frequently hold a completed arc flash study and still work exactly as before. The report was issued, filed and never converted into labels, permits or training, so the hazard it quantified continues unchanged.

  • Every assessed panel labelled and the placement recorded, so coverage is auditable rather than assumed complete.
  • Permit procedures updated to reference calculated values, since a permit that cites no specific energy cannot drive a PPE decision.
  • Contractor handover made an explicit step, because incidents involving external workers frequently trace to hazard information never being passed on.
  • Re-assessment triggers defined, so a protection setting change or a utility reinforcement prompts a re-run rather than silently invalidating the labels.
  • Findings above the practical PPE limit escalated as engineering work rather than absorbed as a heavier clothing requirement.

How the programme runs

01

Start from the results

We work from a completed study, whether ours or an existing one, and check its inputs are still current before anything is built on top of them.

02

Label and record

Every assessed panel is labelled and recorded, producing a coverage record rather than an assumption that labelling was completed.

03

Rewrite the permit

Energised work permits are revised to reference calculated energy and boundary at the specific equipment concerned.

04

Build the contractor pack

Hazard information is assembled in a form that can be issued with a work authorisation and understood without electrical engineering background.

05

Train the people

Technicians and supervisors are briefed on reading a label, respecting a boundary and recognising when the task should not proceed energised.

06

Set the review triggers

The changes that invalidate the study are documented so re-assessment is prompted by an event rather than by a calendar nobody watches.

Frequently asked questions

The study establishes the hazard. This turns it into the labels, permits, contractor handover and training that actually change how work is done. Sites commonly hold a completed report while continuing to work exactly as before, which leaves the original risk in place despite the expense already incurred.
Yes. We check its inputs first, particularly the fault level and the protection settings it assumed, because a programme built on results that have since been invalidated is worse than none. Where the inputs still hold, the existing study is used as the basis without repeating the calculation.
The incident energy, boundary and PPE requirement for the specific equipment they will open, issued with the work authorisation rather than on request. Their own procedures reflect assumptions about typical installations, and a Philippine industrial switchboard may present energy well outside what those assumptions cover.
By tying re-assessment to the events that change the calculation: a utility reinforcement, a transformer replacement, added generation, a switchboard extension or any protection setting change. Where the calibrated model has been retained, updating the affected positions is short rather than a repeat survey.
