Web TeamIn order to successfully protect your workers from a possible deadly exposure to arc flash, let’s go back to the basics…
NFPA 70E defines a hazard flash as a dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc. An arc flash is caused from one exposed live conductor transmitting a short circuit that flashes over to another conductor or to the ground. The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) provides guidance on implementing appropriate work practices required to protect workers while working on or near exposed electrical conductors. In addition to the NFPA, arc flash is also regulated by OSHA and the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers(IEEE). Continuing to promote awareness of arc flash hazards is a great way to stay protected. Posting an arc flash awareness poster in your workpace will inform and educate all workers to use safe practices. Seton offers a variety of Arc Flash Training Aids.
