Electric arc flash or electric flashover
is one of the most deadly and least
understood hazards of electricity in
the workplace, and it is prevalent in
most industries.With about 1000
electrical accidents at work each year
and as many as 25 people dying from
their injuries, the outcome of an arc
flash can be disastrous.

DuPont Personal Protection has
developed the DuPont Arc-Guide in
conjunction with independent
experts to help companies comply
with the law and better assess arc
flash hazards. The guide has
information on how to reduce the
severity and consequences of an arc
flash and recommends a step-by-step
approach of ‘predict, prevent, protect
and publish’. Stand 84
