ARC FLASH 2018 TESTIMONIAL Hugh Hoagland, ArcWear Founder “Palm coatings are one of the most beneficial additions to arc flash-resistant gloves. When the International Association for Test Materials developed an arc flash test (ASTM F2675), the decision was to rate a glove based on the least protective area like the back of the hand. So a glove may be rated for 8 cal/cm² of arc flash protection, but the palm coating can give up to 50cal/cm² of protection. So palm coatings are great news for arc flash protection since the palm and fingertips are where the most heat occurs in many arc flashes.”

ARC FLASHWhat is Arc Flash?Arc flash results from an arcing fault, where the electric arcs and resulting radiation and shrapnel cause severe:

On average, approximately 2000 workers each year are injured and/or killed while working on energized equipment. Many of these casualties are a result of arc flash.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Electrical ARC FLASH SAFETYThe purpose of this standard is to provide a practical safe working area for employees relative to the hazards arising from the use of electricity.

Identify potential arc hazards in the workplace

Apply engineering solutions to reduce frequency and severity of exposure

Train workers on the safe work practices and provide PPE as required in NFPA70E

check list

Electric Worker Safety

Employees must follow the requirements of the Arc Flash Hazard label by wearing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), use of insulated tools and other safety related precautions.

*All protective equipment must meet the current NFPA standards.

THERMAL MANNEQUIN TESTThis standard protects workers from flash fire exposure and injury by specifying performance requirements and test methods for flame-resistant fabric and garments.

A thermal mannequin is used with test fabric

Jet fuel fire at a specified heat flux (fire intensity) is used and a exposure time of 3 seconds

3 exposures are used on the test fabric

NFPA 2112 sets the performance standard for a maximum of 50 percent body burn or less to be compliant
