IS YOUR FACILITY ARC FLASH COMPLIANT?

Electrical safety is not an option: it is absolutely necessary for both workers and employers.

An arc flash is a short circuit through the air. When insulation or isolation between electrified conductors is breached or can no longer withstand the applied voltage, an arc flash occurs. As employees work on or near energized conductors or circuits, movement near or contact with the equipment, or a failure of the equipment, may cause a phase-to-ground and/or a phase-to-phase fault. The arc flash is instantaneous, almost too fast for the eye to comprehend. But the end result of the incident could be more than $15 million in direct and indirect costs to a company.

DID YOU KNOW

Over 2,000 workers are sent to burn centers each year with severe Arc Flash burns.

60% of workplace accident deaths are caused by burn injuries.

Estimates show that 10 Arc Flash incidents occur everyday in the US.

Total costs per electrical incident can exceed $15 million.
