NFPA 70B isn’t just about doing routine maintenance. To be compliant, you must track your maintenance and have a plan for servicing and testing. Gimba provides all of these in an intuitive software package.
“Gimba has made our NFPA compliance a snap, I would highly recommend it to others who want to maintain their gear and have to deal with compliance.”
NFPA 70B software is critical to compliance. The NFPA standard is not just about getting your maintenances done, it is about tracking them and tracking them in a way that only software can provide. Spreadsheets are great for minimal tasks, but if you are working with several different device types, and maintenance types (Visual, Themorgrapic, Mechanical, Cleaning, etc), and devices, it is more than a spreadsheet can handle. As mentioned, you are not compliant if you do your maintenances, you are only compliant if you do your maintenances AND keep detailed records that is what Gimba provides.
With our software, you can allow for general inspections that track when the inspection was completed, and by whom. Another option is to get very fined-grained and include the exact wording from the NFPA documentation.
Depending on the type of device that is being serviced and the condition of that device will determine that frequency. Also, the frequency of device can change if an inspection fails or if a device condition changes. The Gimba onboarding team will set up all your inspections at the correct frequency level based on the condition of your devices.
Gimba understands how to determine the correct condition rating based on the given factors and can support determining its condition, and as mentioned adjusting frequencies based on those conditions. Those factors include the actual condition of the device, whether it is new, has it been EOF for a decade, or has the device experienced faults/issues in the past. Another factor is the criticality of the device, is the device supporting essential medical equipment where if it failed people’s lives would be at risk? The final factor is the operating environment, is the device in a “hostile” environment such as a steel mill where the temperatures exceed the recommendations on the device.
As mentioned having records of your inspections and devices is as important as performing them. Gimba provides a robust yet straightforward reporting modulate so you can always provide for compliance or your own records a leger of what has been done and what is upcoming. Also, you can run reports on the given devices based on condition, type, manufacturer, etc.
