In any environment where electrical power and machinery are present—be it a sprawling industrial plant, a dynamic marine vessel, a critical infrastructure facility, or a bustling construction site—safety is not just a feature; it's a fundamental requirement. At Fail-Safe Electric in Tacoma, Washington, we believe that robust safety measures shouldn't be an afterthought or an option; they must be an integral part of every design, every component, and every system we deliver. "Fail-Safe" is more than our name; it's our promise.

Our unwavering commitment to safety is demonstrated through meticulous design engineering, the selection of high-quality, reliable components, and a dedication to meeting and often exceeding stringent industry safety standards, prominently including UL Listing for many of our products.

What Does UL Listed Mean for Your Safety?

When you see the UL Listed mark on a Fail-Safe Electric product, it signifies that it has been independently tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories – a globally recognized safety science leader. This means the product meets specific, high safety standards (such as UL 508A for Industrial Control Panels). This certification provides tangible proof of:

  • Adherence to Rigorous Safety Requirements: Verified compliance with established safety and construction standards.

  • Reduced Risk: Designs that have been evaluated to minimize electrical, fire, and mechanical hazards.

  • Enhanced Trust and Confidence: Assurance that you are investing in equipment built with safety as a foremost consideration.

How Fail-Safe Electric Engineers Safety into Every Solution:

Our dedication to safety is woven into the fabric of our products and processes:

  • Designing for Safety from the Outset: Safety isn't added on; it's engineered in. This includes:

    • Comprehensive Circuit Protection: Robust protection against overcurrents, short circuits, ground faults, and overloads is standard across our Power Distribution Panels, Motor Controllers, and even Temporary Power Skids.

    • Critical Safety Functions: Our UL Listed Shutdown Panels are purpose-built for emergency stops and planned shutdowns using dependable non-PLC relay logic. The UL Listed Radio Controlled Cart Controller features an integrated, easily accessible safety shutdown.

    • Safety Interlocking: Essential electrical and mechanical interlocking in systems like Reversing Motor Controllers and Gantry Control Systems prevents hazardous conditions.

    • Clear Indication and Control: Intuitive controls, clear labeling (as seen on Navigation Light Panels and status indicators ensure operators can make safe decisions.

  • High-Quality, Reliable Components: We select industrial-grade and marine-grade components known for their durability and ability to perform consistently, reducing the risk of failure that could lead to unsafe situations.

  • Robust Construction for Demanding Environments: From our marine switchboards built to resist corrosion and vibration to industrial panels housed in sturdy NEMA-rated enclosures, our products are designed to protect their internal components and maintain integrity even in tough conditions.

  • Adherence to Industry and Maritime Standards: Beyond UL Listing, many of our marine products, like the Fast Ferry Ships Service Switchboards, are built to meet or exceed specific international marine electrical standards and classification society requirements.
