Managing the arc flash risk

Electric arc is one of the most deadly and least understood hazards of electricity, and is prevalent in many industrial situations. The outcome of an arc flash can be disastrous and while local legislation requires businesses to perform risk assessments for all work activities, DuPont believes this is often overlooked because many people are unsure how to assess and manage this hazard effectively.

Following research with independent experts, DuPont is to present its new Electric Arc Flash Risk Assessment Guide at the BRE Innovation Park in Watford on Tuesday 23rd November - 9.30am until 3.30pm. The Guide will provide users with the tools to evaluate the arc flash hazards at their facilities and the knowledge on how to both reduce the severity and consequences of an arc flash.

The event is aimed at anyone whose responsibility involves the protection of workers from the arc flash hazard - for example electrical engineers, electrical designers and non site based electrical workers and safety managers or procurement officers.
