Why inspection and testing matter
Lightning protection systems are only effective if they are fully functional. Over time, components can deteriorate, connections can loosen and earthing systems can lose efficiency. Without regular testing and inspection, faults can go unnoticed, compliance can lapse and the risk of damage or downtime increases significantly. Inspection and testing are essential to:
Protect people, property and operations
Identify hidden faults before they become critical
Maintain safety and system reliability
Ensure legal and regulatory compliance
Prevent costly failures and operational downtime
Provide confidence in the performance of your protection
