What Is An Arc Flash?
An arc flash is a dangerous electrical phenomenon that can cause extensive damage to equipment and endanger nearby people. It occurs when an electric current veers from its intended path and passes through the air from one conductor to another conductor, or to a grounded surface. An enormous amount of energy is released as heat and light, sometimes reaching temperatures of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
An Arc flash event is possible anywhere there is electrical energy, including homes, offices, factories, and construction sites. Since an arc flash can cause catastrophic burns, blindness, hearing loss, and death, employees who work with, or are near, electrical equipment are especially at risk.
As an employer of choice, you want to ensure the safety of your workforce. It is a simple fact: workers who have received proper arc flash safety training are better able to recognize the risks associated with arc flash and take preventative measures to avoid those pitfalls.
Arc flash training is required for employees in industries where electrical hazards are prevalent, and it involves identifying risks, following safety protocols, wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment, and responding to emergencies.
In summary, electrical arc flash is a very real hazard that can result in serious injuries or death. Understanding the risks associated with arc flash, and taking the proper preventative measures, including mandatory training and the use of personal protective equipment, is critical to creating a safe work environment.
