Why Infrared Inspection Windows?

Keeping Your Equipment Secure & Your Workforce Safe

  • Traditional electrical inspections require opening enclosures, exposing workers to serious hazards.
  • Infrared (IR) Inspection Windows eliminate this risk, allowing inspections to be performed with enclosures sealed, maintaining a normal operating condition.

Infrared inspection windows are designed to improve inspection safety and efficiency by allowing thermographic inspections to be performed without opening energized electrical equipment. They are a safety enhancement — not a repair or maintenance activity — and are installed to provide safer access for inspection.

  • Why it matters:
  • Minimizes risk exposure to live electrical components
  • Complies with NFPA 70E & OSHA regulations
Why Infrared

Compliance & Safety

Built for Safety & Regulatory Compliance

  • OSHA General Duties Clause (OSH Act 1970, Sec 5)
    • Employers must provide a workplace free of known hazards.
  • NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety in the Workplace (2024 Edition, Sec 110.3(H)(1)&(3))
    • Prioritizes hazard elimination in electrical safety programs.
  • NFPA 70B - Electrical Equipment Maintenance (2023 Edition, Table 9.2.2)
    • Mandates annual infrared inspections for electrical systems.
