The Experts in Healthcare Electrical Facilities Maintenance
Health care facilities face constant challenges to maintain code compliance and adapt to ever-changing medical requirements. In addition to serving complex patient needs, facilities must find the most practical ways to upgrade to industry standards the most efficiently. Let us share first-hand experiences of how Beacon Electric has assisted Health Care facilities to prepare for heavy reliance on electrical systems during times of medical emergencies and recent pandemics.
Some relatively recent changes in code include requirements for emergency power-generation systems and branch circuits that supply power to critical equipment in operating rooms, security systems, emergency lighting control panels, and communication systems. We can help you stay up to date to ensure that you meet standards like:
- Healthcare facility wiring (HCF) requirements
- Providing tamper-resistant receptacles or tamper-resistant receptacle covers required in pediatric locations
- Ensuring that receptacles, fixed electrical equipment, and corded equipment are tested after damage, after repair, or at least every 6 months
- Providing isolated power supplies (IPS) or ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) for patient care rooms defined as wet procedure locations (operating rooms)
- Installation of life safety and related branch circuits with distinctive markings in type 3 EES
- Supplying emergency generator maintenance and testing, which includes periodic testing and maintenance of circuitry and conditions
