Graybar Healthcare Services

Services of particular interest include: electrical system upgrades, power system studies including arc flash analysis and risk ahssessments, preventive maintenance and testing, start-up and commissioning, electronic repair services and utility rebate administration.

Regulatory compliance is an ongoing requirement of healthcare facilities. With an extensive range of products and services and the proven expertise to develop and implement a custom solution, Graybar is a partner that can simplify compliance with regulatory requirements.

Graybar and our services partners' offering will help mitigate the risk and cost associated with the operation, maintenance, testing and regulatory compliance of a healthcare facility’s electrical distribution systems. This solution positions Graybar as a single point of responsibility to provide optimal reliability of a hospital's electrical infrastructure, ensuring a safe, controlled and comfortable environment.

Benefits:

Risk mitigation: Graybar in conjunction with our supplier partner's depth of experience and technical knowledge will increase the reliability of the systems that supply power for patient care, ensure regulatory compliance, limit liability when critical components of the electrical system require work and provide an overall safer environment for patients and employees.

Operational efficiency: costs associated with the operation and maintenance of the electrical system can be significantly reduced. Regular maintenance and testing will extend the life of equipment and avoid costly, unplanned expenditures.

Productivity: Graybar can facilitate a single point of contact and responsibility for the hospital's electrical infrastructure (maintenance, testing, compliance, etc). A hospital no longer needs to rely on multiple vendors (manufacturers) to manage their critical power system.

Things to Know:

• The NFPA 70E Standard is not a federal regulation – OSHA sites most fines against the "general duty" clause
• Short circuit studies identify potential hazards related to undersized electrical equipment
• Coordination studies will determine the optimal breaker/fuse/relay/overload ratings for the protective device against the respective damage curves of critical electrical distribution system components
• Arc flash analysis studies will provide the critical system evaluations to determine available incident energy levels
• The system study can lead to additional opportunities that include: preventive maintenance, equipment upgrades and modernization, new equipment and training services.
