Arc-flash is an electric current that passes through air when insulation or isolation between electrified conductors is no longer sufficient to withstand the applied voltage. OSHA recommends that in order to avoid these types of serious injuries, companies should take steps such as training and education in order to keep their employees ready and aware of all possible hazards involving arc flash.
Having an untrained workforce exposes your employees to numerous hazards, and leaves you as the Employer exposed to OSHA fines or possible litigation. Our Arc Flash training course topics include: the background of NFPA 70e, shock hazards vs. flash hazards, the proper use of Arc Flash related PPE, and much, much more. By preparing your workers in these critical areas you are ensuring their long term safety and making sure that they will be aware of how to properly use the equipment that is required for their everyday job activities.
