Plant managers who understand the safety concern, business risk and cost of an arc flash incident will want to sign up for the March 27 Webcast, sponsored by Eaton Corp. on the topic of strategies to mitigate arc flash incidents.

Plant managers who have taken steps to address arc flash hazards may not be aware that there are many options to mitigate the high-risk areas on the plant floor.

Manufacturing experts note an arc flash program involves more than just compliance to OSHA mandates. It should be a proactive program that integrates a wide range of solutions into a comprehensive plan to minimize the personnel safety and business risks posed by arc flash incidents.

The March 27 Webcast will feature arc flash mitigating techniques ranging from equipment labeling and personnel training, through solutions that reduce the available fault current, shorten fault clearing time, move people away from the arc, redirect the arc fault and even prevent the fault from occurring in the first place.

Experts also will look at the problem from a federal/regulatory viewpoint and we will offer some insights from people at the plant level personnel.
