Fragmented safety programs leave gaps.

Downtime is the enemy. So is an unmanaged safety exposure.

USP builds annual safety programs for data center operators, colocation facilities, and hyperscale construction projects, from arc flash compliance and confined space rescue to contractor safety management. One partner, every coverage gap closed.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

Data center safety failures don’t just injure workers — they take facilities offline.

Arc flash events, confined space incidents in below-grade infrastructure, and contractor management failures are the safety risks that make data center operators lose sleep.

A single arc flash incident in a critical electrical room can knock a facility offline for days. NFPA 70E compliance, confined space programs, and contractor safety oversight aren’t nice-to-haves, they’re operational necessities.

USP builds annual programs that address both, managing contractor safety during expansion projects and maintaining ongoing compliance for your operations and maintenance teams.

DATA CENTER ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Colocation Operator Achieves Zero Arc Flash Incidents Across Three Facilities Over 24 Months

“We’d had two arc flash near-misses in two years before USP. After their NFPA 70E program and arc flash hazard analysis, we’ve had zero incidents across all three sites.”
Mark M.
VP of Facilities, colocation operator, 3 sites, Mid-Atlantic

FROM THE FIELD

What our clients are saying after one year

Before USP, we were reactive — waiting for something to go wrong before we fixed it. After the first year of the program, we hadn’t had a single OSHA citation. That’s never happened in our 20-year history.
James Donovan
VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
