Research and development environments are uniquely vulnerable during power outages. From temperature-sensitive reagents to delicate ongoing experiments, even a brief interruption can compromise months of work, threaten compliance, and jeopardize safety.
That’s why business continuity in R&D isn’t just about keeping the lights on—it’s about protecting knowledge in motion.
Here’s a targeted Power Outage Business Continuity Checklist specifically for research facilities. It’s a proactive framework built around six key pillars, namely:
- Backup Power Systems – Ensuring UPS coverage for critical lab equipment and validated generator transitions.
- Experiment & Lab Preservation – Protocols to safeguard priority experiments and sensitive materials.
- Data Protection & IT – Redundant storage, emergency saves, and offline workarounds.
- Personnel & Safety – Clear roles, trained staff, and accessible emergency supplies.
- Documentation & Communication – SOPs, contact trees, and internal alert systems.
- Supplies & Contingencies – From spare parts to emergency budgets, readiness at every level
Continuity in R&D isn't just operational—it's strategic. In regulated, high-stakes environments, preparation is the only real safeguard for progress. Checkout the document below …
Let’s discuss how your facility can prepare, protect, and recover with confidence.
