Safety & Contamination 3

No One is Immune from Safety & Contamination ConcernsSafety & contamination issues affect every

industry, from food and beverage processing

facilities to manufacturing plants to power

generating stations. In many industries — like

food and chemical processing, mining, oil and gas

exploration and utilities — worker safety and the

possibility of contamination to the product being

produced or the environment have paramount

importance.

Reflecting the critical nature of these areas,

local, state and federal agencies are continually

monitoring operations and enforcing regulations

designed to reduce the chance for injury and

contamination. Fines and lost revenue due to

non-compliance with the myriad of regulations

affecting businesses can be crippling.

Add to this demanding production schedules

and a globally competitive environment, and it

is clear that employers cannot risk the downtime,

costs and health risks associated with safety

& contamination concerns.

From protecting electrical systems and equipment from unexpected failures that might lead to

an environmental incident to providing hazardous material identification and emergency lighting

systems, Thomas & Betts provides a wide variety of electrical systems and components to

help ensure the safety of facilities, equipment, processed or manufactured products and, most

important, people.

T&B solutions address critical issues in every area of your operation, so you can focus on cost,

quality, flexibility, safety and production cycle challenges across your enterprise. Whether it’s

Homac® Break-Away Devices that provide a safe, controlled disconnect of power in the event

of an incident to the service cable, or our extensive range of fittings, conduit bodies, cable ties

and modular framing systems made from stainless-steel to resist contamination from bacterial

growth, T&B has the solutions you’re looking for.
