[/url][/align]An article this week in Plant Service magazine provides an overview of the safety requirements of NFPA 70E, and arc flash and arc blast hazards in particular. The article notes:
"Electrical hazards are a significant safety and financial risk for electrical workers and their employers. While the threat of shock and electrocution from inadvertent contact with energized parts has long been recognized, the arc flash and arc blast hazards have only fairly recently been incorporated into the electrical safety standards. The recent focus on and awareness of arc flash and arc blast hazards will play a critical role in reducing the incidence and severity of electrical accidents over time."
