Data Center EHS Services

Why Data Centers Are Different

High-Voltage, High-Stakes High-Reliability

Data centers operate under unique conditions: energized electrical systems, confined spaces, elevated work areas, and 24/7/365 operations. Generic EHS programs don't cut it.

Energized electrical equipment up to 480V or higher requiring arc flash analysis and NFPA 70E compliance
Confined spaces including cable vaults, battery rooms, and cooling system enclosures
Fall hazards from elevated cable trays, mezzanines, and rooftop mechanical equipment
Contractor coordination across mechanical, electrical, and construction trades working simultaneously
Emergency preparedness for events that could impact uptime, from equipment failures to natural disasters

Key Compliance Standards

OSHA 29 CFR 1910 – General Industry Standards
NFPA 70E – Electrical Safety in the Workplace
NFPA 70B – Electrical Equipment Maintenance
NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code (NEC)
ASHRAE Standards – HVAC and Thermal Guidelines
ANSI Z87.1 – Eye and Face Protection
ANSI Z359 – Fall Protection and Arrest Systems
29 CFR 1910.146 – Permit-Required Confined Spaces

Core Services

Programs That Protect People and Uptime

⚡

Arc Flash & Electrical Safety Analysis

NFPA 70E-compliant arc flash studies, equipment labeling, and electrical safety program development. We calculate incident energy, establish arc flash boundaries, and specify PPE requirements for energized work.

📋

Confined Space Programs

Identification, classification, and permitting for confined spaces including battery rooms, cable vaults, and cooling system enclosures. Includes atmospheric monitoring protocols and rescue planning.

⚙

Electrical Safety Programs

Comprehensive electrical safety programs covering energized work permits, qualified worker training, lockout/tagout procedures, and maintenance of electrical PPE per NFPA 70E and OSHA 1910 Subpart S.

⚠

Fall Protection Programs

Hazard assessments and protection systems for elevated work areas, cable tray installations, rooftop equipment access, and mezzanine operations. Includes anchor point certification and rescue planning.

🛡

Emergency Action Plans

Site-specific emergency response plans addressing fire, hazmat releases, electrical incidents, and natural disasters—designed to protect personnel while minimizing downtime and data loss.

🔒

Lockout/Tagout Programs

OSHA 1910.147-compliant LOTO procedures for electrical systems, mechanical equipment, and stored energy sources. Includes equipment-specific procedures, authorized employee training, and annual audits.
