“Without appropriate knowledge, the effects of arc flash, which is an electrical explosion resulting from a low impedance connection to ground or another voltage phase in an electrical system, can be devastating.

“We offer extensive training covering PPE selections when carrying out tasks and activities and provide information about control measures and risks.”
For electrical engineers that are exposed to the dangers of arc flash, the risks associated can be life threatening and include burns and injury’s thanks to heat, flying objects, and pressure blasts.
