When implementing #ArcFlash control measures, the principles of prevention should be considered against a hierarchy of risk controls: ow.ly/eEuB30lmooO ⚡️Elimination of the arc flash hazard ⚡️Minimisation ⚡️Information and training ⚡️Control the risk ⚡️PPE

We are able to supply safety equipment and clothing which can provide varying degrees of protection: ow.ly/o3rw30nf9RF Call our experts on 01925 645 645 for guidance and to discuss your arc flash personal protective equipment requirements.

Heads-up: Injuries due to an arc flash event can include severe external burns, internal burns and intoxication from inhaling hot gasses and vaporised metal. Eye damage and blindness from the ultraviolet light of the flash, hearing damage and other injuries can also occur.

When reviewing #ArcFlash control measures risk assessments must be recorded, and it may also be require that field marking of equipment is done. Safe systems of work, safety rules and safe procedures will be necessary. Learn more: ow.ly/CMzx30mJYUN

The severity of the thermal effect of an arc flash is determined by the amount of incident energy that a person, a given distance away from the arc, could receive to the skin surface. Find out more: ow.ly/o3rw30nf9RF

Competent electrical workers need to be trained in the decision-making process necessary to determine the degree and extent of the #ArcFlash hazard. Find out more about arc flash: ow.ly/rmEi50AOuQ9

Employers must take all reasonably practical steps to provide protection which is both appropriate and suitable to the risks identified in a risk assessment. Call +44 (0)1925 645 645 to discuss your #ArcFlash PPE requirements or use our contact form: ow.ly/Mgp850ucq8C

Workers in the vicinity of energised parts of electrical systems need to be protected against the effects of electric arcing. Read about #ArcFlash studies and carrying out a risk assessment: ow.ly/eEuB30lmooO

Personal protective equipment should always match the calculated level of risk in order to ensure adequate protection. If you can't find what you are looking for we can develop bespoke garments. Call us on +44 (0)1925 645645 to discuss your requirements.

Remember that the severity of an #ArcFlash incident can range from very low, where the event is interrupted very quickly by well-designed protective devices, to very high where arcing events persist or where worker distances are limited. More at: ow.ly/ea2t30nZl4k

There are many ways in which the dangerous effects of an #ArcFlash can be eliminated or minimised. We take a look at some of them here: ow.ly/ZMcz30nSI1G

Do you use a hierarchy of risk controls when implementing safety measures? Consider: Elimination of the arc flash hazard; Minimisation; Information and training; Control the risk; Personal protective equipment.

Don't forget that non-flame resistant clothing may ignite or melt at lower incident energy values and will continue to burn after an electrical arc has been extinguished. Ordinary clothing can become a hazard and for this reason it should be considered within the risk assessment.
