The Importance of Arc Flash Safety

Arc flash hazards present significant risks when handling electrical systems. Implementing the right safety measures can prevent accidents and injuries among your employees and contractors. We align our services with OSHA regulations and NFPA 70E standards to ensure full compliance and optimal safety.

  • NFPA-70 (NEC) States: ART.110.16 – Switchboards shall be field marked to warn qualified persons of arc flash hazards. ART.110.9 – Equipment shall have an interrupting rating sufficient for the available current.
