Thunderstorm safety – What to do after a lightning strikes on a lightning rod?
A lightning protection system prevents a direct strike on the structure, but it does strike the lightning rod. Therefore, when a discharge occurs, the entire lightning protection system must be thoroughly checked and reset, as the integrity of critical components (lightning rods, conductors, connections, grounding, etc.) may be compromised. Following a post-impact protocol ensures that the system continues to function properly and the installation remains protected.
