Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis
Technical Audio Conference Call - April 18, 2007 - 11am-12:30pm CST
The ASSE Technical Conference Series provides listeners with the most up to date information on issues that significantly impact the SH&E profession. On Wednesday, April 18, at 11:00 AM CST John Kolak will present “Arc Flash Hazard Analysis.”
Protecting Electrical Workers from the devastating effects of electrical arcs and blasts is one of the most pressing electrical safety issue today faced by SH&E professionals. NFPA 70E requires that employers conduct an Arc-Flash Hazard Analysis (AFHA) to properly assess the risk associated with work on exposed energized parts. In this interactive presentation, you will learn the AFHA processes and strategies to protect electrical workers from arc-flash injuries and fatalities on the job. The presentation will last approximately 60 minutes and will be followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers.
The following topics will be covered in this 90-minute call:
- An overview of AFHA research that has impacted the understanding of Arc-Flash hazards
- The limitations of AFHA and how to compensate for those limitations when developing and Electrical Safety Program
- Key determinants of the severity of Electrical Burns
- An explanation of the benefits of using an Engineering software program over spreadsheets such as IEEE 1584 Arc-Flash Calculator
- Common “traps” when performing AFHA and how to avoid them
- Recommended Electrical Engineering methods for controlling Arc-Flash Hazards
