The NFPA 70E states “A Flash Hazard Analysis shall be done before a person approaches any exposed electrical conductor or circuit part that has not been placed in an electrically safe work condition”.

The hazards a worker may be exposed to include:

•     Extreme temperatures
•     Copper vapor (Expands by 67,000 times when vaporizing)
•     Molten metal that may ignite clothing or other materials up to 30 feet away
•     Intense UV light that may damage vision
•     Hot air expansion (Pressures up to 400 Lbs/ft2)
•     Pressure/Sound waves that may rupture eardrums

Please call (248) 344-0200 or email Mike Mancuso for a flash hazard analysis at your facility or for more information on our analysis software and methodology.
