Introduction
Arc flash first became a subject of serious study in the early ‘80s, The Other Electrical Hazard: Electric Arc Blast Burns,” in the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications. These early studies convinced several companies, particularly those in the petrochemical industry, that too many people were suffering injuries from arc flash incidents. These companies took steps to establish the first set of practices designed to better protect employees and electrical contractors working on energized electrical equipment.
Objectives
To train the participants on the different obeyed techniques in detecting the ARC flash event and using the prevention techniques as well as the personal protective equipment and tools for the safety protection against such accidents.
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not swell for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
Safety engineers – Safety supervisors – Process engineers.
