What you are going to learn

This arc flash certification course covers regulations for both electrical and fire safety. Course content includes fundamental electrical concepts, hazard control measures, and electrical industry safety standards. It will help you identify circumstances that can create arc flashes to reduce the risk of electrical injuries.

An "arc flash" is the result of a large-scale short-circuit that causes electricity to leave its intended path and travel through the air from one conductor to another or to the ground. It is better to prevent an arc flash than live through one. Injuries include shrapnel penetration, burns, blindness, hearing loss, and cardiac arrest, some of which are not survivable. It is critical that workers understand arc flash risks and how to prevent them.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: For nine years, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition aired in the United States. The show focused on families in need, and worked with local volunteers as well as builders, designers, and their crews to remodel or rebuild a home over the course of a week. In one specific instance, a Kokomo, Indiana, family was selected for an episode. The family had an immunocompromised daughter who, after meeting and becoming friends with another girl who had leukemia, raised over $35,000 for the American Cancer Society. However, the family home of the immunocompromised little girl, due to the location and the way their home was built, collected water that led to mold growth. Family members experienced many negative health effects, such as polyps and severe asthma attacks, and were restricted to the upstairs portion of the deteriorating home. When they tore down the old house, the family was instructed to only hold onto items that had sentimental value, due to the nature of mold growth.

Key Takeaway: Mold can affect anyone who is exposed to it. It is especially harmful to people who are immunocompromised.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor, is charged with the enforcement of safety and health conditions of workers through the use of regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. OSHA regulations are published in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1910 is reserved for general industry standards. Arc flash regulations are contained in Subpart S.

Because of the nature of arc flash events, regulations for both electrical safety and fire safety apply. Since the 1970s, OSHA has incorporated standards from the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) codes to frame electrical safety regulations. OSHA 29 CFR 1910, Subpart S, addresses vital electrical safety requirements, such as design standards, work practices, and maintenance requirements. NFPA 70 and 70E covers a comprehensive set of electricity-related regulations, including wiring, power systems, safety standards, and general-use equipment as well as general workplace safety requirements concerning electrical equipment.
