H is for Hazardous Locations
In the environmental remediation industry, many of our systems are built for projects located in what the National Electrical Code (NEC)classifies as hazardous locations.
CLASS I LOCATIONS
Class I locations are those in which inflammable gases or vapors are or may be present in sufficient quantities to produce explosive or flammable mixtures.
CLASS I, DIVISION 1
Class I, Division 1 locations are where hazardous atmosphere may be present during normal operations. It may be present continuously, intermittently, periodically or during normal repair or maintenance operations, or those areas where a breakdown in processing equipment releases hazardous vapors with the simultaneous failure of electrical equipment.
CLASS I, DIVISION 2
Class I, Division 2 locations are those in which volatile flammable liquids or gases are handled, processed or used. Normally they will be confined within closed containers or in closed systems from which they can escape only in the case of rupture or deterioration of the containers or systems.
Project management in hazardous areas is a complex task that requires a deep understanding of the risks involved and the best practices to mitigate them.
At PRM, one of our main values is Safety By Design. Our highest priority is the safety and welfare of our employees, customers, the public, and the environment in which we all live and work.
PRM is continually working on making our systems and panels the safest in the industry.
PRM’s certified control panels undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety and integrity—which is paramount in today’s climate to reduce risk.
PRM systems go through stringent procedures which exceed National Research Training Laboratory (NRTL) specifications and standards. Our in-house Control Shop has UL 508A and 698A Certifications for the USA and Canada.
PRM is one of the nation’s only Equipment Integrators who is Third Party Certified to manufacture our Treatment Systems and Equipment to UL and NFPA standards.
PRM is certified through MET Laboratories, a pioneer in testing and certification services, the first Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) in the United States, and recognized leader in the electrical standards industry.
Simply put, PRM systems are safer to operate and maintain.
In the field:
PRM controls are installed by installed by licensed and certified electricians and NRTL Third Party Certified
OSHA HAZWOPER trained field personnel.
