Understanding “Arc Flash”
A comprehensive guide in understanding Arc Flash released by the Workplace Safety Awareness Council under grant number SH-16615-07-60-F-12 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. It details many things about Arc Flash including what causes arc flash, factors that determine the severity of an arc flash injury, results from an arc flash, ways to protect the workers from an arc flash, understanding arc flash warning labels, employee obligations, etc.
“Because of the violent nature of an arc flash exposure when an employee is injured, the injury is serious – even resulting in death. It’s not uncommon for an injured employee to never regain their past quality of life. Extended medical care is often required, sometimes costing in excess of $1,000,000.” Learn more at https://www.osha.gov/dte/grant_materials/fy07/sh-16615-07/arc_flash_handout.pdf
