Working in the electrical and utility sector comes with a number of potential hazards. One of the most common hazards is arc flash.
An electrical arc causes a sudden release of energy. This can result in serious skin burn injuries. Power generation, maintenance, electrical company, and other common duties can all pose risks to workers on a daily basis.
That’s why workers in this sector must wear arc flash clothing properly that meets safety standards such as IEC 61482-2, ASTM F1959, and NFPA 70E. The ASTM F1903 standard is commonly used to predict burn injury by using an instrumented manikin.
