Arc Flash and Electrical Safety

Video: Fire flash testing

At the University of Alberta’s Protective Clothing and Equipment Research Facility, extensive flash fire testing of several different FR fabrics illustrated the extent, severity and location of bodily burns following a standard three-second fire exposure.

In this video sponsored by Westex, the dangers of fire flash explosions are documented and explored.
