Arc Flash

Arc Flash Gear is essential. Electrical workers must wear and be properly trained in the safe use and application of appropriate personal protective equipment for the possible electrical hazard with which they may face. Examples of such equipment could include a hard hat, face shield, flame resistant neck protection, ear protectors, flame retartdant suit, insulated rubber gloves with leather protectors, and insulated leather footwear. All arc flash gear must meet the requirements as shown in the latest edition of NFPA 70E. PPE, sufficient for protection against the potential electrical flash, is required for every part of the body. The selection of the required thermal rated PPE depends on the incident energy level at the point of work. Our directory is a useful tool for accessing companies that supply arc flash gear.
