Free Electrical Safety Webinar to Focus on Arc Flash Rules and Accident Prevention

Canton, OH (PRWEB) September 18, 2008 -- On Thursday September 25, 2008, ElectricalEngineer.com - the online community for electrical engineers, is offering a free Webinar titled - "5 strategies for understanding and implementing the 2009 Arc Flash Rules"

Each year thousands of workers are injured or killed by electrical explosions known as Arc Flash. One slip of a screw driver while working on electrical equipment can create anything from a small spray of sparks to a large electrical explosion that can engulf the worker in a fireball causing severe injury and death.

What are the mandatory rules required to protect the worker from the deadly effects of an arc flash? Who do these rules cover? How do you select proper personal protective equipment for the worker? What if you do not comply? What are the qualifications for someone to work on electrical equipment? Why are there so many standards regarding arc flash including NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, NESC and more - isn't OSHA enough? With all of the different standards, compliance is like trying to hit a moving target.

Whether your company has a large electrical power distribution system, is an electric utility, or only has one electrical panel, this 1 hour program can show you how to reduce your chances of violating OSHA when it comes to electrical safety - reducing the possibility of an arc flash incident and large OSHA fines.
