No One is Immune from Safety & Contamination Concerns T&B Products Can Help Ensure a Safe and Clean Environment Safety & 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.
