Mahfooz Hilaly of Burns & McDonnell

Topic:

Arc Flash Hazards and Theory

There is nothing more important than safety. Worker safety is an ingrained culture in most work environments. Neglecting any safety precautions can lead to injury or death of the workers.

Working in an electrical facility is dangerous, especially if the work requires energized equipment. Arc Flash can occur while working on energized equipment. 

Knowing arc flash hazards, the causes of an arc flash incident, the incident energy mitigation strategy and proper safety precautions can help prevent burns or death for you or your worker.
