Working around electricity can be hazardous and can cause serious or fatal injuries to personnel who operate and maintain electrical equipment. An arc flash is an electrical short circuit that occurs due to a massive energy released in the form of heat, pressure, and a blinding flash. A high voltage arc can result in substantial damage, fire or injury. An arc flash can injure or even kill the people nearby. To ensure employees’ safety OSHA has create the safety standards related to electrical safety, National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 70E (NFPA 70E).  According to NFPA 70E, organizations have to provide personal protection equipment (PPE) and OSHA Arc Flash Training to their employees. Employees have to keep a safe distance from exposed energized parts that reduce the potential for an electrical injury.

OSHA has updated the existing standards, under the new OSHA standard (NFPA 70e), all the organizations have to provide training to the personnel who may work on,near, or around electric equipment. Additionally, OSHA has required that all the organizations have to analyze and identify possible hazardous in electric systems. The Arc Flash Safety Training has to be given to the employees to understand and decrease arc flash hazards.

Arc Flash Safety Training for employees covers:

• Overview of Existing and Proposed NFPA 70E Standards
• Personal Responsibility
• Arc Flash Boundary
• Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
• Arc Flash Protection
• Different Hazard Risk Category
• Safe Distance Approach
• Selecting Protective Clothing and PPE

This program will provide information to train employees in arc flash safety, meet OSHA requirements of the new NFPA 70e, and help reduce the hazards associated with electrical arc flash and blasts. This training program uses different Arc Flash Video Clip under Arc Flash Video training to provide training on important safety concepts on arc flash safety.
