⚡An arc flash isn’t just a spark — it’s a dangerous burst that can cause fires, melt clothes and burn skin. Most burn injuries happen when regular clothing catches fire, not from the arc itself. Be like Tom. Suit up in the right PPE and stay safe. https://lnkd.in/efCcmMcS

We all need to ensure we place more focus on the electric shock hazard that can lead to electrocution. All workers on a worksite are potentially exposed to electric shock. OSHA electrical incident statistics prove that electrocutions have been and are still occurring at an unacceptable frequency not only in the United States but globally. The narrative unfortunately has propped up the abnormal arcing fault/arc flash hazard and electric shock has been neglected.

This video makes me thankful for my office job. My goodness - stay safe out there!

Anyone opening gear like this should be highly trained, supervised and work with a spotter. 🚒

Never experienced it but seen it on videos…a lot of people working around energy and have not experienced a shock do not take it seriously
