Arc Flash Safety Program
Ensuring Workplace Safety with Arc Flash Risk Assessment
An arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy through the air, resulting from a fault between electrical phases or between a phase and ground. This can lead to severe injuries or fatalities if proper arc flash safety procedures are not followed.
Our comprehensive Arc Flash Safety Program incorporates arc flash risk assessments, training, and hazard analysis to protect employees from dangerous electrical incidents while ensuring compliance with NFPA 70E safety standards.
Key Components of Our Arc Flash Safety Program
