WHO THIS SERVICE IS FOR
If You Own, Manage, Or Insure A Commercial or Industrial Property With An Electrical witchboard
Thermographic scanning is increasingly required by commercial property insurers as an annual condition of cover. It is relevant to any person or organisation responsible for the electrical safety and insurance compliance of a commercial building. If any of the following applies to you, Survaid can help:
You own or manage a commercial, industrial, retail, strata, or hospitality property and need to meet insurance renewal requirements
Your insurer or underwriter has requested a thermographic scanning report as a condition of cover or policy renewal
You are a property manager, strata manager, or facility manager responsible for electrical safety compliance at a commercial site
You have not had your switchboards thermally scanned within the past 12 months
You are an insurance broker managing a client placement that requires current thermographic scanning certification
WHAT IS A THERMOGRAPHIC SCAN?
A Non-Invasive Inspection That Detects Hidden Electrical Faults Before They Cause Fires
Thermographic scanning (also known as thermal imaging or infrared thermography) is a non-invasive inspection method that uses a calibrated infrared camera to detect abnormal heat patterns in electrical switchboards, distribution boards, and associated electrical components.
Electrical faults — including loose connections, overloaded circuits, undersized cables, and failing components — generate heat before they fail. This heat is often invisible to the naked eye but clearly visible through thermal imaging. By identifying these heat signatures under normal operating conditions, Survaid can detect and document developing faults before they escalate into equipment failure, unplanned outages, or electrical fire.
Faulty electrical equipment is the leading cause of commercial property fires in Australia, responsible for approximately one in five fire damage claims. Thermographic scanning is one of the most cost-effective preventative maintenance measures available to commercial property owners and managers.
WHY IT MATTERS
Insurance Compliance & Fire Prevention — Both Depend On It
The insurance and safety case for annual thermographic scanning is well established:
Many commercial property insurers in Australia now require annual switchboard thermal imaging as a condition of policy renewal — without a current report from a certified thermographer, your cover may be affected in the event of an electrical fire
Electrical fires in commercial properties can cause tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, business interruption, and liability — thermal scanning costs a fraction of this exposure
Thermal imaging is conducted under normal operating load — no shutdown required, no disruption to your business operations
A documented thermographic scanning report provides an audit trail for insurers, building owners, and regulators demonstrating active risk management
