Overview
Every year over 2000 North American workers are admitted to burn centers to treat external injuries caused by arc flashes. Most of these workers were either not effectively warned of the hazards associated with arc flashes or they were not informed on how to protect themselves against it. Although injuries from arc flashes are not the most frequent work-related injury, the cost to the industry and society is high. Greater understanding of the arc flash phenomena and the risk it poses to personnel will help reduce these injuries.
