An Arc Flash Assessment is the evaluation of a facility by an electrical safety expert to determine hazards and risks in relation to electrical systems. But you might be wondering, why are Arc Flash Assessments necessary?

1. Worker Safety:

   Each year, it is estimated that there are:

   • 30,000 arc flash incidents per year
   • 2,000 workers hospitalized from arc flash burns per year
   • 100+ workers are killed each year due to electrical events

   The Arc Flash Assessment identifies and addresses the dangers of arc flash in the workplace. It provides workers with the information they need to work on equipment safely and helps them properly identify PPE.

2. OSHA/NFPA70E Requirement:

   Maintaining OSHA compliance is among the top priorities for most companies. The arc flash assessment is required every 5 years per OSHA and NFPA70E.

3. Improved electrical system efficiency:

   Things like a complete detailed 1-line drawing, equipment evaluation, and system recommendations can improve system efficiency.
