Arc Flash Safety

Arc flash safety involves protecting people from a dangerous release of energy caused by an electrical arc, which can occur when equipment is short-circuited or improperly handled. An arc flash can produce intense heat, bright light, flying debris, and loud noise, posing serious burn and injury risks. To minimize these hazards, workers wear special protective clothing, face shields, and follow strict safety procedures, including proper equipment maintenance and safe work practices. Awareness and preparation are essential to prevent incidents and ensure safety when working near high-voltage electrical systems.
