With our Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, we’ll help you comply with OSHA and NFPA 70E standards.

You’ll avoid employee safety risks and potential government fines when we perform an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis every five years.  

Explosive energy released during arcing faults will send more than 2,000 workers to burn centers this year — and most will have no warning of the magnitude of the hazards they faced. The severity of these injuries takes an enormous toll on human life and industry … often exceeding $1 million including medical expenses, the cost of replacing equipment, operational downtime and insurance.

Arc flash prevention

Two factors have propelled arc flash prevention to the forefront:

  • A greater understanding of the powerful forces of arc flashes and arc blasts and the risks to your employees and subcontractors.
  • OSHA’s increased vigilance in using industry standards for electrical safety. If you don’t comply, you may face substantial fines.
Arc Flash
The ETS solution

Our experienced power systems engineers will perform systematic and accurate analysis to ensure you comply with NFPA and IEEE guidelines to help you improve employee and subcontractor safety.

Short circuit calculations

We’ll use your data or gather the data to make calculations identifying bolted and arcing fault levels so you may improve your electrical distribution system.

Protective device coordination

We’ll perform an electrical systems coordination study or use your own study to determine the duration of arcing faults.

Arc flash hazard calculations

We’ll calculate the incident energy level, the flash hazard boundary and the personal protective equipment (PPE) required for each location so you can minimize risks to your workers.

Documentation

You’ll receive a comprehensive report containing information necessary to comply with regulatory requirements and possibly reduce workers’ compensation and insurance rates.

Unsafe work locations

We’ll identify work locations having incident energy levels exceeding PPE ratings so you can prevent accidents.

Arc flash hazard mitigation

We’ll make recommendations to minimize arc flash hazards by suggesting changes in system protection or operational procedures.

Arc flash hazard labels

You’ll also receive a field label containing the flash hazard boundary distance, incident energy level, PPE category and shock hazard for each location so workers can be informed of the risks and take protective measures.
