The industry is constantly evolving, and so are the safety regulations that businesses must comply with. While today’s regulations may seem sufficient, tomorrow’s requirements are becoming increasingly stricter. Do you comply with the current EN 45545-2:2020 standard, or are you taking an extra step to ensure you’re prepared for the future?

In this blog, we’ll share some tips on how to work proactively to improve the safety of your processes and systems.

It is essential to not only test your current systems according to the prevailing standards but also to aim for higher safety levels. Proactive testing, such as with your overfill protections, helps identify potential problems before they become risks.
In addition, proactive testing offers extra protection and allows your business to adapt to changing circumstances, such as new operational requirements or higher safety standards, without expensive upgrades. By proactively testing, you reduce your overhead costs and always stay one step ahead of the competition.

System replacement is not only expensive but can also lead to unnecessary downtime. Proactively testing systems for potential future risks, such as material fatigue or changes in business operations, can drastically reduce the costs of unforeseen replacements.
For example, the average lifespan of overfill protection systems is typically 10 to 15 years. Through proactive testing, Tabco guarantees a lifespan of 20 years without major maintenance interventions. By testing proactively, you are investing in the continuity of your operations.

Practical Step:

Check the lifespan and maintenance requirements of your current security systems and consider upgrading to longer-lasting solutions so you can be prepared for the future without frequent replacements.

Companies that anticipate future regulations, such as the EN 45545-2:2020, won’t need to make last-minute adjustments when new legislation takes effect. Stricter testing ensures your company won’t be caught off guard by new requirements. It saves you time, money, and effort in dealing with future stricter laws.

Regularly inspecting and maintaining your security systems ensures they are always in top condition, extending the lifespan of your systems and preventing unexpected downtime. Tabco also offers replacement solutions during maintenance periods, so your operations never need to be halted. This way, you control when future changes in your business conditions take place.

Practical Step:

Create a maintenance plan for your security systems and consider incorporating proactive testing and updates into your regular maintenance cycle.

Companies that think ahead and proactively test their systems have an advantage when it comes to complying with future legislation and protecting their employees and infrastructure. By investing in high-quality security solutions like Tabco’s Dual-Secure Refueling, which have an average lifespan of 20 years and comply with the EN 45545-2:2020 standard, you’re not only prepared for today’s challenges but also for those of tomorrow.
