On average, five to 10 arc flash events occur in electrical equipment per day in the U.S. These events can be devastating to personnel and productivity. Mitigation tactics like PPE, following OSHA and NFPA safe work practices, and implementing NEC installation standards can help decrease the chances of one of these dangerous events occurring at your facility.
