Arc flash incidents are one of the most dangerous electrical hazards in the workplace. They can cause life-threatening burns, hearing loss, and catastrophic damage in a fraction of a second. With the right NFPA 70E safety training and safe work practices, these arc flash hazards are often preventable.

Arc flash incidents are among the most dangerous electrical hazards in the workplace — and they happen more often than most people realize.

  • Every day in North America, workers are injured, hospitalized, or killed by arc flash accidents.
  • An arc flash can generate heat hotter than 35,000°F, with sound blasts reaching 140 dB and explosive pressure exceeding 2,000 psi.
  • The average treatment cost is $1.5 million, and total damages from a single event can reach $30 million when you factor in equipment, litigation, and lost business.

With the right NFPA 70E safety training and consistent safe work practices, most arc flash hazards are entirely preventable.
