A press release notes that the NTSB has made more than 14,500 safety recommendations, and more than 80 percent of them have been utilized. Improvements have been made in a number of transportation modes: aviation, railroad, highway, marine, and pipeline.

    Infrared (IR) electrical scans

    Uncover electrical system component issues, prevent worker downtime and reduce employee injuries. Infrared (IR) electrical scans from e-Hazard quickly find and help solve problem areas in your electrical systems. IR electrical scans are needed because electrical system components put out excess heat caused by increased resistance when something is not working properly. IR electrical testing helps determine wiring errors, overloaded systems, loose connections, damaged switchgears, or components that are likely to fail. 3
