Protect yourself and your team from arc flash accidents with a sound methodology to electrical troubleshooting

1. PRACTICE
MAKES
PERFECT
A sound methodology is the key to success in troubleshooting

2. In recent years arc flash has also
become recognized as a serious
workplace hazard.
Shock and electrocution have
long been recognized as a serious
workplace hazard

3. An arc flash is rapid release of energy due to an
arcing fault between a phase conductor and
another phase conductor,
a neutral conductor or a ground.
Arc flashes are most commonly
caused from human error.

4. Everyday, there are up to ten arc flash incidents
resulting in
up to two fatalities a
day.
That’s 3,000 arc flash incidents per year!

5. The combination of a workplace
injury and
equipment downtime can cost
as much as $8 to10 million dollars
per injury!

6. Reduce risk of
electrical injury and death
Improve safety in your workplace
by following these 7 tips...

7. One:
CREATE AN ELECTRICAL
SAFETY INITIATIVE
TIP! The methodology for conducting an arc flash analysis is
outlined in
IEEE 1584 Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard
Calculations

8. Two:
CONDUCT ELECTRICAL
DISTRIBUTION STUDY
TIP! Determine Potential Arc Flash Energy Levels and Apply
Associated Equipment Labeling

9. Three:
GEAR UP
YOUR TEAM
TIP! Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is imperative as are
proper tools

10. Four:
MAINTAIN ALL
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
TIP! Maintain and ensure that all electrical distribution system
components are in working order.

11. Five:
CREATE A ROBUST SAFETY
TRAINING PROGRAM
TIP! Keep your team sharp by conducting regularly-scheduled
safety training and audits for all electrical workers .

12. Six:
EMPOWER
YOUR TEAM
TIP! If your staff doesn’t know how to troubleshoot electrical
issues – they need to learn and practice in a simulation
environment! If your staff does know how to troubleshoot,
they need hone their skills and practice in a simulation
environment!

13. Seven:
TROUBLESHOOTING;
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
TRUTH! Simutech’s Troubleshooting Skills Training System will
teach your
team a 5-step systematic approach which provides a solid
electrical diagnosing methodology.

14. Helping companies reduce equipment downtime
by providing simulation-based training software
that
teaches people how to troubleshoot electrical
problems
