National Lightning Safety Institute (NLSI) is an independent, non-product advocate of lightning safety for both people and structures:

Personal Lightning Safety means anticipating a high-risk situation and moving to a low-risk location. Result: Improved ES&H practices.

Structural Lightning Safety means using various exterior and interior defensive systems in a detailed, site-specific process. Result: Improved power quality assurance.

NLSI provides objective assistance on many kinds of lightning problems, including experience with:

• Analytical testing and site audits
• Power generation/T&D in wind, gas turbine, co-gen, and diesel
• Explosives storage for defense and industry
• Global mining operations for people safety, power quality, and production continuity
• Investigations in root cause and risk probability issues

Our website provides a wealth of training materials, maps, photos, and factual details about lightning issues, written by both NLSI and other lightning experts.
