Arc Flash Consultants in Florida

Arc Flash Florida provides on-site arc flash consulting for commercial and industrial facilities throughout the state. Our consultants perform arc flash hazard analysis, risk assessments, NFPA 70E training, equipment labeling, and electrical safety program development at your facility, wherever you are in Florida.

If your facility operates electrical systems at 50 volts or above, NFPA 70E 2024 and OSHA require you to assess arc flash and shock hazards, implement safe work practices, and provide appropriate protective equipment for employees. An on-site arc flash consultant evaluates your specific electrical system, identifies the hazards present, and provides the documentation, labels, and training your facility needs to meet these requirements.

On-Site Arc Flash Consulting Services

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment

Our consultants conduct comprehensive arc flash hazard analysis at your facility, including fault current calculations, incident energy analysis per IEEE 1584-2018, arc flash boundary determination, and PPE category assignments for each piece of equipment. The analysis requires on-site data collection of your electrical system configuration, protective device settings, and conductor specifications to ensure calculations reflect your actual installed conditions.

Arc Flash Labeling and Equipment Marking

Following the hazard analysis, we produce and install arc flash warning labels on all required equipment per NFPA 70E Article 130.5(H) and NEC 2026 Section 110.16. Each label includes the nominal system voltage, arc flash boundary, available incident energy at the working distance, minimum arc rating of required PPE, and the date of the assessment. Labels are applied to switchboards, panelboards, industrial control panels, motor control centers, and any other equipment likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized.

NFPA 70E Training

Our consultants deliver on-site NFPA 70E training tailored to your facility’s specific electrical hazards and equipment. Training programs include low voltage and high voltage qualified person training, lockout tagout procedures per Article 120, arc flash awareness for unqualified persons, and PPE selection and use. All training is aligned with NFPA 70E 2024 requirements and satisfies the three-year retraining cycle under Article 110.2.

Short Circuit and Coordination Studies

As part of a complete electrical safety assessment, our team performs short circuit and coordination studies to verify that protective devices are properly rated for available fault currents (per NEC 110.9) and coordinated for selective tripping (per NEC 110.10). These studies are a prerequisite for accurate arc flash hazard analysis and can help reduce incident energy levels by optimizing protective device settings.

Electrical Safety Program Development

For facilities that need a complete electrical safety program or an update to their existing program, our consultants develop documented programs per NFPA 70E Article 110.5 covering hazard identification procedures, risk assessment protocols, safe work practices, energized electrical work permit processes, emergency response procedures, and training requirements. A well-documented electrical safety program is essential for OSHA compliance and for defending your facility in the event of an incident or inspection.

What to Expect from an On-Site Consultation

When you contact Arc Flash Florida for an on-site consultation, the process typically follows these steps:

Initial scope discussion: We review your facility type, electrical system size, number of panels and equipment locations, and any specific compliance concerns or upcoming inspections to determine the scope of work needed.

Data collection: Our consultant visits your facility to collect one-line diagrams, utility fault current information, protective device nameplate data and settings, conductor specifications, and equipment configurations. If one-line diagrams are not available, we can develop them as part of the study.

Analysis and reporting: Using the collected data, we perform the short circuit analysis, coordination study, and arc flash hazard analysis. You receive a detailed report documenting incident energy levels, arc flash boundaries, PPE requirements, and any recommendations for reducing hazard levels.

Label installation: Arc flash warning labels are produced and can be installed at your facility for all evaluated equipment.

Training delivery: On-site NFPA 70E training is conducted for your employees, covering the specific hazards identified in your facility’s analysis and the PPE and safe work procedures required at each equipment location.

When to Hire an Arc Flash Consultant

Your facility should schedule an arc flash consulting engagement when any of the following conditions apply:

• No existing arc flash study: If your facility has never had an arc flash hazard analysis performed, you are likely out of compliance with NFPA 70E and OSHA electrical safety requirements.
• Study older than five years: Industry best practice recommends updating arc flash studies every five years or whenever significant electrical system changes occur.
• Electrical system modifications: Adding or removing equipment, changing transformer sizes, upgrading protective devices, or receiving notification from your utility of increased available fault current all require an updated analysis.
• Missing or outdated labels: If your equipment lacks arc flash warning labels, or if existing labels reference outdated study data, new labels should be produced from a current analysis.
• Employee training lapsed: NFPA 70E 2024 requires retraining for qualified persons at intervals not exceeding three years.
• Upcoming OSHA inspection or insurance audit: A current arc flash study, proper labels, documented training records, and a written electrical safety program are the primary items inspectors and auditors look for.
• Workplace incident: Any arc flash or electrical shock incident requires an immediate review of your hazard analysis, safety procedures, and training program.
