Training course overview

Arc flash hazards represent one of the most significant dangers in electrical systems, often resulting in severe injuries, equipment damage, and expensive downtime. These incidents are triggered by the sudden release of energy due to faults within the electrical system. Preventing arc flash accidents requires a thorough understanding of the phenomenon, detailed hazard analysis, and strict adherence to safety protocols. The Arc Flash Hazard Analysis: Impact, Control, and Safety training course provides an in-depth look at the science behind arc flashes, risk assessment techniques, and control strategies. Participants will also learn about the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), workplace safety practices, and compliance with industry standards, equipping them to foster safer operational environments.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the physics and causes of arc flash incidents
  • Conduct effective arc flash hazard analyses
  • Learn mitigation strategies to reduce risks
  • Implement safety practices and select appropriate PPE

Who is this training course for?
