Did you know?

Many people in the U.S. are impacted by electrical hazards or incidents that occur from working on or within the limited approach boundary of electrical equipment. In the United States, electricity is a major cause of death and injuries among workers. Electrocution is the fourth leading cause of industrial fatalities.

 

Consider the Following:

OSHA estimates there are approximately 350 electrical fatalities a year. to NFPA estimates there are 4,000 non-disabling and 3,600 disabling electrical contact injuries in the workplace annually. National Safety Council estimates 30,000 non-fatal electrical shocks each year & 17, 101 injuries caused by arc flash burns.

 

An arc blast is a dangerous condition that is associated with the release of energy caused by an electrical arc.

 

 

 

  

 

Arc blasts can create
the following hazards:

Intense light
Heat
Flying projectiles
Molten metal droplets
A pressure wave

 

Many businesses and workers have not yet fully recognized the hazards associated with arc flash and arc blasts. Training in arc flash/blast protection is a relatively new topic that has not been addressed in many of the employer programs, so the hazards are often not addressed. Many businesses also do not have the technical resources to perform this essential training.

 

Georgia Tech has developed a full range of electrical safety courses to assist employers in identifying and controlling this major hazard of the workplace.
