What Qualifies as De-energized Work? What to Know About Expected OSHA Guidance and Arc Flash

12/17/24 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CST

OSHA has announced it plans to issue new arc flash guidance aimed at reducing arc flash injuries among commercial and industrial electricians, which continue to occur despite proven personal protective equipment and safety standards such as NFPA 70E. The agency intends to close loopholes and dispel misconceptions that cause many injuries – providing clarity on what qualifies as de-energized work, highlighting that low voltage can and does ignite flammable clothing, and emphasizing the importance of appropriate protective apparel. We’ll cover the guidance itself, the data behind it and the lifesaving difference it will make. Enhance safety and comply proactively – deepen your understanding today!
