The difference between life and death for an electrician
Even the most experienced, confident, safe and well trained electricians have become the victims of a life ending arc flash event.
An arc flash is never planned or expected but when it does happen it is a catastrophic event that is life changing or unfortunately life ending. No one is prepared for an instantaneous flash that throws them to the ground and engulfs their clothing in fire causing the material to melt into the skin.
The difference between life and death comes down to something as simple as wearing the proper protective clothing. Unlike the 1970’s and 1980’s when protective clothing was heavy, hot, bulky and sometimes made of cotton, today’s protective clothing is light, breathable and absorbs moisture.
