When it comes to electrical safety, the risks you notice are only the tip of the iceberg. Damaged cords, a breaker that trips, or water near an outlet may catch your attention, but beneath the surface, hidden dangers pose even greater threats to safety, compliance, and business continuity. 

At Averifica, we specialize in uncovering those unseen hazards before they turn into costly incidents. 

What People See: 

  • A damaged plug or cord 
  • A power cord lying across the floor 
  • Breakers tripping and being reset 
  • DIY wiring or quick fixes 
  • Extention cords powering multiple tools 
  • Water near an outlet 
  • Metal tools near open panels 

These are visible warning signs, and while they should never be ignored, they often distract from the deeper issues at play. 

What People Don't See: 

Hidden risks are far more dangerous and they don't reveal themselves until it's too late. 

  • Overloaded circuits with high fire risk
  • Exposed conductors that can cause shocks or fires 
  • Deeper electrical faults that can cause arc flashes or repeated tripping 
  • Code violations or grounding issues that compromise compliance 
  • Unsafe load capacity leading to overheating and failure 
  • High risk of electrocution or fatal shock 
  • Accidental short circuits that could trigger catastrophic events 

Making the Invisible Visible 

At Averifica, we don't just look at what's on the surface. Our experts dig deeper to identify hidden risks, code violations, and compliance gaps that others may overlook. With our field evaluations, you can: 

  • Stay compliant with CSA, NFPA, and other safety standards 
  • Avoid costly shutdowns, fines, or insurance issues 
  • Protect your team from preventable hazards 
  • Gain peace of mind knowing your electrical systems are safe and approved 

What is a Field Evaluation? 

When your project is on the line, waiting weeks for lab testing isn't an option. There's where a Field Evaluation, also known as a Special Inspection or Electrical Inspection comes in. Conducted right at your site, this process verifies that your equipment meets Canadian safety standards under CSA Model Code SPE-1000. It's fast, compliant, and recognized across Canada, so you can move from installation to operation without delay. 

In Ontario, these evaluations are often referred to as ESA Inspections, since the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) authorizes approved inspection bodies to perform them. A Field Evaluation gives you the same peace of mind as full certification without the wait.  It's the perfect solution for custom builds, limited runs, or modified equipment that need to be energized safely and on time.
