National Lightning Safety Institute
(NLSI) is an independent, non-product advocate of lightning safety
for both people and structures. We apply science, engineering and
industrial organization to create
lightning hazard mitigation programs.
 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:
- Informative classes, lectures, seminars, and workshops
- On-site technical assessments, audits, and inspections
NLSI is an "authority having jurisdiction" (AHJ), qualified to approve, certify, and inspect equipment, installations, materials, and procedures.
We provide on-site inspection services for lightning protection system compliance, and we have considerable experience in the following industry sectors: aviation; communications and IT; defense, including explosives; mining; petrochemical; and power generation.

NLSI has completed another
comprehensive site audit for a client in the global mining
industry. Previous work has been in Indonesia,
Papua New Guinea, Australia, Ghana, Tanzania,
Peru, Dominican Republic, and the USA.
NLSI has completed a ninth assignment for NASA at Wallops Island. Previous work was at Johnson Space Center (May and October 1997), Goddard Space Flight Center (August 2002), Wallops Island (April 2004 and February 2012), and Kennedy Space Center (September 1997, June 2005, December 2005 and February 2006).
NLSI has updated its Lightning Protection for Engineers book for 2012 with the latest information describing defensive measures. The emphasis is on facilities protection, especially power quality continuity and codes compliance.
