Topic: Arc Flash Safety

Electricity is widely recognized as a serious workplace hazard, exposing employees to electric shock, burns, fires, and explosions. Electric shock, heat, and fire from arc flash, and pressure, shrapnel, and sound from arc blast are all hazards to the employee from electricity. Additionally, employers have a duty to protect their workers and it just makes good business sense. Anyone who works with or around electricity will come away from this presentation with a basic understanding of the hazards as well as the regulations and preventive measures associated with working around electricity.
