Electrical Arc Flash Awareness

Every day, one to two arc flash related fatalities occur across North America. An arc flash can generate temperatures up to 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit (19,000 degrees Celsius), posing severe hazards when working in or near electrical panels and systems. Extreme precautions are necessary to mitigate these risks. Both OSHA and NFPA 70E provide standards to protect workers from such dangers. This 16 minutes arc flash training course introduces you to these hazards, explains the types of injuries they can cause, and outlines the precautions you can take to stay safe. Successful trainees earn a certificate of completion.
