Dive In: Arc Week Season 1
What do sharks and electric arcs have in common? Join us to find out!
This summer, the tides have washed in unprecedented world events and stressors that have been felt by one and all. Tyndale presents Arc Week: a week-long educational look at the world of arc flash hazards through the lens of Shark Week – “television’s longest-running, and most anticipated summer event.”[1]
Just when you thought it was safe to cross the flash protection boundary…
For decades, our resident technical expert Scott Margolin has been dedicated to studying and protecting workers from arc flash and flash fire hazards by day – and a passionate shark enthusiast in his free time. Through his work, he’s conducted thousands of arc flash and flash fire simulations aimed at improving protective products and safety standards, and he's been diving with sharks for 30 years. Scott’s time in both worlds has drawn unique, memorable parallels that bring important lessons about risk protection and PPE to life.
Working hot? Beware: arcs lurk in plain sight. Think twice before diving into arc-infested work zones without the appropriate PPE. Let Tyndale be your guide!
