In today’s safety conscious environment, there is growing concern regarding arc flash hazards. Because an arc flash event can expel large amounts of deadly energy with temperatures reaching as high as 35 thousand degrees Fahrenheit, it has become imperative that facility owners take safety precautions to prevent such dangerous events. Having sometimes deadly or disabling consequences for workers as well as costing business owners millions per case for treatment of injuries, arc flash safety can sometimes become an insurance issue for facilities as well.
RTM Engineering Consultants has found that buildings owners sometimes don’t fully understand what an arc flash study is or why it is important. This is why our main goal in creating a safe work environment can be achieved by not only providing an arc flash study and analysis for facilities, but also providing life safety training and education to facility staff and maintenance workers.
