Arc Flash Risk Assessment As Per NFPA 70E 2021

The Process We Follow

What is Arc Flash Study?

what is arc flash analysis? is the first question that raises in every safety concerns mind. Arc flash analysis is a combination of electrical study with ref to the safety guidelines. Arc flash hazard study also known as arc flash risk assessment is performed to identify and mitigate the arc flash hazards or arc flash risks available in the system and ensure the safety of the working personnel with proper arc flash safety procedure.

Arc flash policy for study demands that arc flash survey needs to be carried out before building the real time model for arc flash assessment. Arc flash assessment requirements are clearly mentioned in NFPA 70e all hazard flash safety guidelines including arc flash distance, arc flash PPE need to be mentioned in the arc flash warning labels. arc flash procedures need to be clearly defined and the working personnel shall be trained on arc flash policy and what is the danger of arc flash and shall be clearly instructed on the usage of arc flash PPE.

What are the Arc flash hazard assessment requirements?

The next question that triggers is What are the arc flash hazard assessment requirements, and do we have any arc flash safety program template for reference for understanding Arc flash hazard study and its related standards.

OSHA and NFPA has all the guidelines required for arc flash survey requirements and the arc flash warning labels preparation. We also need to keep in mind that arc flash hazard analysis is not just an electrical hazard analysis it also involves the other hazards like fire, smoke etc. So with ref to the study the working personnel has to wear the arc flash ppe which is tested. Arc flash testing has to be done all the arc flash ppe to ensure the quality and safety of the team.

Whom to choose for Arc Flash Study?

Then the biggest challenge comes whom to choose for arc flash analysis services and how to identify the best among arc flash study companies in the globe.
