Electrical safety training including arc flash and arc blast awareness training is not only a good idea, it's THE LAW. OSHA 29CFR1910.332 requires training for all employees who experience a heightened risk of electrical exposure on the job. Failure to comply can not only result in fines and penalties leveled at your company by OSHA but very severe injuries and possibly even death to personnel.

Electrocution and arc flash, (and arc blast) are responsible for one fatality every two days in the U.S., and some 8,000 workers are treated in emergency rooms for electrical contact injuries each year.Five to 10 arc flash explosions occur in electrical equipment every day in the United States.

Many businesses and workers have not yet fully recognized the hazards associated with arc flash and arc blast. Training in arc flash protection is a relatively new topic and all to often not fully understood. Many businesses also do not have the technical resources to perform this essential training. This is what we do! Call us for your training.

You must also create an Electrical Work Safe Program and ensure all your workers are correctly trained. OSHA places the burden of training on the employer.

Employers (or host companies as NFPA70E/OSHA calls them) are also liable for their contractors. DEMAND all your electrical contractors are 70E trained!
