Best Practices Guides
Just released this week are three new best practices guides. All three are available for download as PDFs from our web site. The three new guides are:

Pipe Marking Best Practices - This guide describes what's involved in a facility pipe marking inspection, how a pipe marker should be designed based on ANSI code, printing pipe markers and applying pipe markers.

Valve Tag Best Practices - In this guide the labeling of valves is covered by the same code as covers pipe marking. Valves need to be appropriately identified and labeled. In most cases, because valves have few flat spots, labeling is done using tags. This guide describes valve inspections, the information printed on valve tags, abbreviations used on valve tags, printing valve tags and installing valve tags.

Arc Flash Labeling Best Practices - Only 52% of electrical equipment installed after 2002 has the proper arc flash labeling. The news is worse for equipment installed prior to 2002. Only 14% of equipment installed in 2002 or earlier has proper arc flash warning labels. This indicates that there is a major labeling problem, and danger, in the workplace. The Arc Flash Best Practices Guide takes you step-by-step through the procedure for determining the need for arc flash labeling, to creating and applying the labels.
