What is a lightning protection inspector?

Lightning Protection Inspectors are professionals who assess, test, and verify the installation and maintenance of lightning protection systems on buildings and structures. Their main responsibility is to ensure these systems comply with safety standards and local regulations, minimizing the risk of lightning-related damage. Inspectors typically examine grounding systems, conductors, bonding, and surge protection devices to confirm proper function and effectiveness. They also provide inspection reports and may recommend repairs or upgrades to enhance safety.
