OSHA’s New Arc Flash Guidance: Major Implications for “De-Energized” and Low Voltage Work
If you’ve ever said “I only work de-energized” or “it’s only low voltage” this guidance changes your world and this webinar is for you.
OSHA’s new arc flash guidance aims to reduce arc flash injuries amongst commercial, industrial, and residential electricians, which continue to occur despite safety standards like NFPA 70E and proven PPE. The guidance clarifies rules and dispels misconceptions that cause the majority of injuries – stating clearly that de-energized equipment that’s not locked out or tagged out is energized work, highlighting that low voltage can and does ignite flammable clothing, and emphasizing the importance of appropriate protective apparel. We’ll cover the guidance itself, the data behind it, implications for industry, and the lifesaving difference it will make. Deepen your understanding today!
