## Why Lightning Protection Testing Is Critical
Lightning protection systems are designed to channel electrical energy safely into the ground, protecting buildings, equipment, and personnel. Without regular testing, corrosion, disconnections, or damage may go unnoticed — leaving your infrastructure vulnerable.
> “A lightning protection system that isn’t tested regularly is effectively a risk, not a safeguard,” says the company.
