Many workers working on energised equipment are injured and/or killed each year. Several of these casualties are a result of arc flash.
Arc Flash is considered as one of the most destructive and dangerous instances when dealing with electrical wirings. A single occurrence can destroy metals and it has the ability to kill a person if not protected by Arc Flash Clothing. An arc flash can create an arc blast that can shatter anything because it is as hot as the as surface of the sun. This kind of heat can destroy metals instantly and completely burn a body beyond recognition.
Arc Flash ProtectionSerious injuries are caused by the arc flash:
Burns
Respiratory system damage
Hearing damage
Skin penetration from flying debris
Eye and face injuries
An arc flash may happen instantly and if the worker does not have the correct protection, they will already be dead when the arc flash hits them.
The use of Arc Flash Protective Equipment will lessen the damages caused by an arc flash because all of these equipments are solely made to withstand the heat.
Typical Arc Flash Clothing Applications
Working on electrical systems and switchrooms at 500 volts, live testing and proving dead on electrical systems, fitting and removal of LV-HV earths on electrical systems, working on panels/control circuits with exposed energised conductors, removal of bolted covers from energised electrical equipment, racking in/out of switchgear, racking in/out of starters and control gear, live testing and proving dead on electrical systems 11-33kV - T&D UK stock a broad range of Arc Flash Clothing and PPE.
An arc blast or flash can occur when workers service electrical power, transmission, and distribution systems using high voltage. It is important to understand the OSHA, NFPA, IEEE and NEC requirements as well as the hierarchy of controls to reduce the risk. Understanding how to calculate a flash analysis to determine the protection boundaries, train workers on the hazards of high voltage electricity and use of personal protective equipment and clothing, and using the right tools for the job are all important steps. Learn more about arc blast/flash in this presentation. If you need advice or help with electrical safety, contact our staff of CSPs at The Windsor Consulting Group, Inc. We have past performance working with contractors near powerlines and underground utilities.
Arc flash incidents can be costly in terms of personnel injury and equipment repair/replacement. This presentation provides an overview of the NFPA 70E 2012 Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace and the requirements of the standards, which are intended to better protect electrical workers from injury when they work on energized electrical equipment. This includes all aspects of facility and employer responsibilities for compliance to the NFPA 70E standards, as well as the current status of OSHA enforcement of these standards.

A channelized Permit to Work system is an integral part of an organization's safety culture.
Considering that work activities with higher risks have a higher probability of leading to incidents as compared to routine or daily work activities, having a PTW procedure that supports management policies, procedures and processes that regulate all work activities becomes a must.
Not just that, PTW systems should be revised when necessary to lubricate the processes & to ensure that it gets easier for the operators as well as safer for the workers.

Practical Arc Flash Protection for Electrical Safety ProfessionalsLiving Online
Electrical safety is an important issue for those working on electrical facilities in utility networks and large industrial installations. A number of serious accidents including fatalities occur every year due to accidents involving electricity resulting in huge financial losses and wasted man-hours. Arc flashes in electrical equipment are now considered one of the major causes of electrical accidents even surpassing the well known hazards of electric shock. Avoiding arc flash incidents and the resulting injuries is one of major challenges today facing electrical workers and requires adequate attention in the stages of system planning, design, installation, operation and maintenance.
Injuries due to arc flash can depend on many factors, one of which is the incident thermal energy on a worker exposed to a flash. Today, a considerable body of knowledge exists as a result of research efforts and is available to designers and maintenance engineers in the form of standards such as IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E. This workshop will detail the basis of this approach and also about the major advances that have been made in the area of PPE made of FR fabrics and rated for different levels of thermal exposure.
Prevention however still remains the best form of protection and switchgear manufacturers have made considerable design advances to ensure that the effect of arc flash incidents is contained within the enclosure of switchgear (often called arc flash resistant switchgear) and methods of testing such switchgear have also evolved simultaneously. Another important factor is the approach to avoid arc incidents within the switchgear by proper design and maintenance and techniques to reduce the severity of the flash should such incidents occur.
These would form the key focus areas of this workshop.

In this ebook, we will look at consensus recommendations for preventive maintenance including industry standards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and regulatory requirements specific to utilities as stipulated by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).
As these standards and regulations outline minimum maintenance activities, we will also share how many critical facilities can and should go beyond these minimums for additional system protection and added peace of mind.

High current is a hazard to the turbine and technicians alike. For the turbine, lightning strikes can damage blades and short out electric equipment when not sufficiently grounded. There are ways to handle the high current in lightning. Inside the nacelle, technicians have to diagnose issues to get troubled turbines back into production as soon as possible. Several new smart electrical meters can assist that work.
Five to 10 arc flash explosions occur in electric equipment every day in the United States. This number does not include cases in which the victim is sent to an ordinary hospital. Instead, these incidents are so severe the victims require treatment from a special burn center.
