An arc flash is a sudden release of energy—reaching temperatures up to 35,000ºF—that can cause severe burns, permanent injury, and even death. These events often result from dropped tools, accidental contact with electrical systems, buildup of conductive dust, corrosion, or improper work procedures.

Because of these risks, OSHA requires employers to protect workers from arc flash hazards wherever they exist. Failure to comply can result in serious injuries, costly fines, and liability. That’s where our Arc Flash Compliance Services come in—helping you safeguard your employees while meeting regulatory requirements.

• Equipment Marking – 1910.303(e)
