Background Info:

Believe it or not, there are between 5 and 10 arc flash incidents in North America each and every day. Arc flashes produce extremely dangerous outcomes including flying objects, blast pressure, sound shock, extreme heat and fire. Due to their nature, injuries from arc flash events are usually quite serious and often deadly. Survivors are often left with debilitating or highly impacting health concerns for the rest of their lives. The resulting situation often presents enormous impact to families and financial burdens that persist for the long-term. The costs of assessing and mitigating arc flash risks, including educational materials like this course, are almost always dwarfed by the losses that can occur when an arc flash occurs.
