Electrical Engineers And Arc Flash Label Maintenance

Labeling and relabeling for arc flash hazards is an important consideration for true arc flash hazard prevention.

OHSA regulates hazard labeling in environments where electrical hazards impact safety. These regulations affect many facilities. Electrical engineers are trained to develop hazard identification plans to help facilities reach compliance with required regulations.

Arc flash accidents can be devastating and costly. Unfortunately, arc flash accidents happen every day, so proper labeling is vital. To identify where potential electrical hazards exist, an electrical engineer may perform an arc flash hazard analysis. This analysis includes performing calculations to determine incident energy amounts, arc flash boundaries, and PPE (personal protection equipment) needed. Arc flash hazard analysis provides vital information necessary for the safety of those who work around energized equipment in the workplace.

After the electrical engineer has developed a plan the appropriate arc flash labels are applied to the electrical hazards identified in the analysis. Properly identified and labeled electrical hazards help dangers to be avoided, preventing injuries and saving lives. When electrical engineers have worked hard to develop an appropriate arc flash hazard analysis for your facility, it is important to properly maintain the arc flash hazard labeling.

Proactive maintenance ensures electrical equipment in your facility is properly labeled at all times with the appropriate safety labels. Preventing electrical accidents in your facility should be a priority; therefore, proactive maintenance should include regular inspection of electrical hazard labeling. Any dirty, deteriorated, damaged or missing labels should be immediately replaced.
