Arc Flash Analysis and Prevention Techniques Course
Course Overview:
This course covers the essential experience that is highly effective in protecting workers from ARC flash incidents by using appropriate techniques, tools, or protective equipment.
It describes about industry standards such as OSHA, NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 standards and methods for performing ARC flash hazard calculations and safety management systems.
The course includes protective devices such as PPE, safe work equipment, lockout devices or tags, grounding appliances and flash hazard assessment. Due to its applied character, the learning process incorporates realistic case studies.
The course is intended for safety engineers, field supervisors, and process engineers for a complete understanding of the ARC flash and how to control it to ensure safety in a particular location.
Course Objectives:
To train the participants on the different obeyed techniques in detecting the ARC flash event and using the prevention techniques as well as the personal protective equipment and tools for the safety protection against such accidents.
Who Should Attend?
Safety engineers – Safety supervisors – Process engineers.
