5 Strategies
for Understanding and Implementing
the 2009 Arc Flash Rules
Each year thousands of workers are injured or killed by electrical explosions known as Arc Flash. One slip of a screw driver while working on electrical equipment can create anything from a small spray of sparks to a large electrical explosion that can engulf the worker in a fireball causing severe injury and death.
What are the mandatory rules required to protect the worker from the deadly effects of an arc flash? Who do these rules cover? Why are there so many standards regarding arc flash including NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, NESC and more - isn’t OSHA enough? With all of the different standards, compliance is like trying to hit a moving target.
How do you select proper personal protective equipment for the worker? What if you do not comply? What are the qualifications for someone to work on electrical equipment?
Whether your company has a large electrical power distribution system, is an electric utility or only has one electrical panel, this 1 hour program can show you how to reduce your chances of violating OSHA when it comes to electrical safety - reducing the possibility of large OSHA fines.
Attendees will take away these important Life Saving tools:
- How to bring your electrical safety program into compliance and avoid large OSHA FINES
- What is a Flash Hazard Analysis and why is it required?
- What are the 2009 NFPA 70E’s NEW labeling requirements?
- How does the January 1, 2009 NESC deadline effect electric utilities?
- What are the requirements of a qualified person?
- What is an energized work permit?
- How do you select Personal Protective Equipment?
- Receive a copy of Jim Phillips’ Article: “OSHA, NEC and NFPA 70E “Fitting the Puzzle Pieces Together for Worker Safety”
- Receive a copy of Jim Phillips’ Article “How to Perform an Arc Flash Study in 12 Steps”
- Gain access to the global forum about arc flash and electrical safety www.ArcFlashForum.com
This program is a Must Attend for all Facility Managers, Engineers, Maintenance Personnel, plant managers, Health and Safety Officials, Production and Operation managers and anyone involved with electrical power systems.
Don’t let your employees get burned by Arc Flash and don’t let your company get burned by OSHA.
