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.
