Arc Flash Awareness & Lock-Out Tag-Out Training
TRAINING
An electrical shock or arc flash can happen to anyone if working on or near energized electrical equipment. In our training, we explain how and where a shock hazard exists and how an arc flash can happen. We will explain how to choose the proper PPE prior to working on or near live or potentially live electrical parts, and how to help workers prevent serious injury.
We will explain how to read and interpret the information on the arc flash labels from your Incident Energy Analysis. If you have not have an incident energy analysis performed yet, we will explain how to use task charts from NFPA-70E for selection of PPE.
We explain the most recent NFPA-70E and OSHA standards and requirements. We will also provide examples and videos of real life arc flash incidents.
