Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Mitigation and Limitations -- Occupational Health & Safety

Electrical Shock and Arc Flash Mitigation and Limitations

Date: Friday June 6, 2025 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT

Understanding of the electrical arc flash and electrical shock hazards has vastly improved over the past few years. Employers undertook a concerted effort to issue personal protective equipment (PPE). As electrical safety evolved, industry is focusing on design enhancements that go beyond the provision of PPE.

This webinar explores various mitigation techniques aimed at preventing injuries, drawing upon standards such as OSHA, NEC, and NFPA 70E. It poses the critical question of whether design changes can negate the necessity for PPE, examining if a company can maintain safety standards without relying on PPE. Additionally, the webinar will address relevant maintenance requirements outlined in NFPA 70B and will introduce pertinent OSHA regulations.
