In 2023, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) changed NFPA 70B from a recommended practice into a mandatory standard. For facility owners and operators, this means electrical maintenance programs (EMPs) must now be documented, proactive, and audit-ready.
For cold storage, warehouse, and food processing facilities, electrical failures don’t just mean downtime — they can mean:
- Spoiled product and lost revenue
- Missed production schedules
- Insurance claim denials
- OSHA fines and safety risks
Multiple contractors across multiple facilities often leads to inconsistent testing, fragmented documentation, and audit headaches. That’s why leading operators are consolidating with a single regional partner.
