We published a new factfile on Arc flash risk management.

e44cfbb534ed373d69072e74a6988bf1-huge-arc-flash-risk-management-fact-file---front-cover_page_01.jpg

This factfile seeks to set out the key principles of arc flash risk management using a risk-based approach. It is aimed at persons with responsibility for the management of safety in the control and implementation of work on electrical power equipment. This factfile provides an assessment process and there is also a commentary on recognised standards and test methods for PPE in Appendix 2.

We are interested in your thoughts! Please read our factfile and ask any questions or share your thoughts below.

  • This reminds me of a story which I may have mentioned before.

    Modern practice in RN is for the individual's designation - CO, WEO, etc. - to be written on the flap of a breast pocket of the white action coveralls. That gives two extra layers of protection where the black ink will absorb more flash energy.

    In the Falklands War, the practice was to write it on the anti-flash hoods with the result that where there were flashes, the foreheads of those concerned were branded.
