3 Estimated that 2,000 workers are treated in specialized burn centers each year as a result of arc flash (Electrical Safety Foundation International). According to the National Safety Council, medical costs for severe electrical burns can exceed $4 million per person.
4 80% of electrical injuries and fatalities among Qualified Workers are caused by arc flash/arc blast (Bureau of Labor Statistics). According to the NFPA, an estimated 5-10 arc flash explosions occur daily in the U.S.

22 NFPA/OSHA
23 Several industry standards establish practices for protection against arc flash. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart S establishes standards for work practices. NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces. NFPA 70E requirements for arc flash warning labels.
24 OSHA PPE Employer is responsible to assess the hazards in the workplace and to select, have, and use correct PPE, and to document the assessment (a)(1)(i) Employees working in areas where there are potential for electrical hazards shall be provided with, and shall use, electrical protective equipment that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected and the work to be performed.
25 (a)(2)(i) - Employees shall wear protective equipment for the eyes and face whenever there is danger of injury to the eyes and face from electric arcs or flashes or from flying objects resulting from electrical explosion.
26 OSHA does require employers to protect their employees from arc flash. However, OSHA regulations themselves do not provide enough detailed information to accomplish this. OSHA references NFPA 70E in a standard interpretation Letter dated 11/14/2006.
27 OSHA recommends that employers consult consensus standards such as NFPA 70E 2004 to identify safety measures that can be used to comply with or supplement the requirements of OSHA s standard for preventing or protecting against arc flash hazards.
28 Primary means of protecting persons from arc flash hazards is to de-energize live parts prior to working on or near them and to use lockout tagout. Remember employees may still be exposed to live parts during shut-down and verification.
29 NFPA uses hazard categories (0-4) based on the incident energy of the circuit. These hazard categories communicate the level of personal protective equipment required. Each category provides progressively more thermal protection.
30 Task based tables in 70E that list type of equipment and the task being performed. Downside is not enough detailed information such as where equipment is located.
31 Have a complete Arc Flash Analysis/Study. Data is collected and software is used to perform calculations to determine the flash hazard levels. Also helpful as it includes instructions on how these levels may be reduced (fuse replacement, breaker adjustment, current limiting devices, etc.)
32 Added benefit is that it will identify situations where employees will not have to wear as much equipment as referenced in the tables. Tables often calculate higher hazard risk categories.
33 If your facility is not currently using a method for determining the level of protection, at a minimum consult the tables in NFPA 70E.
34
35 Determines the worker s potential exposure to arc flash energy. Determines: Flash Protection Boundary, Restricted Approach Boundary, Prohibited Approach Boundary, Limited Approach Boundary. Incident Energy Appropriate Levels of PPE/Safe Work Practices Proper Labeling Conducted by: Certified Electrical Engineers/Electricians.
36 Data is Collected and Entered into Arc Flash Software Program. Data Collected: Utility Service Information As Built Single Line Diagrams Transformer type, size and impedance Cable Sizes and Lengths Protective Device Type, Size, and Settings
37 Field markings are determined to warn qualified persons of the potential for arc flash hazards on equipment likely to require maintenance while energized.

47 OSHA Fuse handling equipment, insulated for the circuit voltage shall be used to remove or install fuses when fuse terminals are energized.

49 Host Employer Responsibilities: Inform contract employers of any known hazards covered within OSHA/NFPA 70E standards that might not be recognized by the contract employer or its employees. Inform contract employers of the type of installations and the need to assess equipment prior to the start of work.
50 Safety is more than compliance, it is making the best effort to protect employees. NFPA 70 E offers much more detailed guidance on properly protecting employees.
