     Arc flash protection is the number one mission at WH Salisbury. Protection from exposure to electrical arc flash is outlined in regulations provided by OSHA, NFPA, and the IEEE and each organization has it's own input into safe work practices.
    OSHA 29 Part 1910 explains that work practices shall be performed in a safe manner where protection from an electrical arc flash is provided in the form of protective equipment available from WH Salisbury that is appropriate for the possible exposure from an electrical arc flash.  
    The NFPA offers the 70E 2000 which is regarded as the Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces and provides an in depth documentation for implementing the OSHA standard. The arc flash protection equipment and clothing required can be established by performing a risk hazard analysis.
    The IEEE standard 1584-2002 provides a method to calculate the incident energy in order to specify the level of personal protective equipment required for electrical workers.
    OSHA and NFPA 70E require equipment to be in an electrically safe work condition before employees work on or near it. Equipment, therefore, should be de-energized before any work is done that may result in an electrical arc flash being generated. In some cases, however, work cannot be done on de-energized systems as well as the fact that in order to provide the protection from an incident occurring the shut down of equipment must be done on energized sources.

There are specific steps NFPA 70E dictates to ensure an electrically safe working condition exists:

• Determine all possible sources of energy supply
• Open disconnecting devices for each source
• Where possible, visually verify device is open
• Apply lockout/tagout devices
• Test voltage on each conductor to verify that it is de-energized
• Apply grounding devices where stored energy or induced voltage could exist or where de-energized conductors could contact live parts.
Establishing these safety protection procedures is part of the company safety plan that must be in effect for each facility that may come into contact with an electrical flash from an arcing component.
• Employers must formalize procedures and practices such as the qualification of employees to work in possible arc flash hazardous areas, tasks they may perform, steps needed to secure management approval for work to be done, and audits.
• Employers must provide training for employees in the skills and techniques needed to work with electrical equipment, protective equipment details, and emergency procedures.
• Employees must implement the practices according to the training.
• Companies must perform a flash hazard analysis before work is done on any energized equipment.
