Webinar covering the need & benefits of an Arc Flash Study

In any work, you need to protect your people from being hurt. In order to do that you have to identify and understand the workplace hazards they face. You need to be able to assess the harm that could be caused by the hazard and the probability of it happening. A Risk Assessment allows you to do this.

In order to determine the Severity of an Arc Flash you need a way of finding out the level of energy that is released during an Arc Flash incident. To do this you complete an Arc Flash Study.

This webinar will be presented by Katoni - whom Reece Safety have partnered with as the UK's leading specialist Arc Flash consultants. It will cover:

  • An overview of arc flash and arc flash risk
  • What an arc flash study can tell you (and what it can’t)
  • The typical inputs to an arc flash study and what data will be required
  • How arc flash energy is calculated using software
  • How arc flash results are presented
  • What you can do with the results of an arc flash study

This 45 minute webinar is especially for safety managers and responsible electricians in the industry who would benefit from understanding what goes into an arc flash study and how electrical safety can be improved by acting on the study outputs.

It will be presented by Calum Martin and Nick Bramhall, Katoni Engineering.  Calum has undertaken numerous Arc Flash Studies and will be sharing his key insights into how these can help manage this life critical risk.
