12Why is arc flash a concern?An electrical arc flash produces one of the highesttemperatures on earth: over 20,000 degrees Celsius.The intense heat from an arc flash causes the suddenexpansion of air, which results in a pressure blast. Inaddition it vaporizes all known material which canrapidly expand.Match Your PPE to the ThreatPRIMARY PPE is your main protection from the threati.e. electrical arc flash suit. Primary PPE is commonlyworn by people who are intentionally entering into ahigh-risk situation.SECONDARY PPE is a last line of defense. By definition itis “secondary” because, like a hardhat or steel toeboots, you wear it continuously.Flame resistantclothings’ purpose is to provide escape time and/orminimize the extent of an injury sustained during anincident. Please remember it’s not just a good idea, it’sa requirement by OHSA.Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)Categories of PPE as described in NFPA 70E (Standardfor Electrical Safety Requirements for EmployeeWorkplaces) 4Clothing2540equipmentandclothing.TheirPRO-WEAR lineincludes clothing and other protective equipment from8cal/cm² to 100cal/cm². Their arc flash protective itemsare sold individually or in convenient kits. Salisburyoffers a complete solution to your electrical hazardswith arc flash face shields, insulated rubber gloves,insulated tools, temporary grounding equipment,voltage detectors and a wide variety of rubberinsulating products.Who is Arc Flash PPC?Arc Flash PPC was founded by Warren McLeod, anelectrical Engineer, who has twenty years experience inboth heavy current and mining industries.Following a recent lecture on the hazards andprecautions of arc flashes Warren McLeod attemptedto source day to day arc flash protective clothing.

Metric Insulated Tool Kits1/41/43/8Every insulated hand tool is rated for exposure up to 1000VAC and dielectrically tested at10 000VAC. These tools meet or exceed current ASTM F1505-07 and IEC 900 standards forInsulated Hand Tools. These tools will help you to be compliant with OHSA 29 CFR 1910Subpart S, and NFPA 70E.The insulating material used is impact resistant and flame retardant. Two-colour insulationmakes inspection easier which adds to the overall safety. If the yellow under layer isshowing, the tool may no longer be insulated properly and should be considered forelectrical retesting.

Metric Insulated Tool Kits cont.1/81/4WARNING: SALISBURY INSULATED TOOLS ARE TO BE USED AS SECONDARY PROTECTIONAND ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE USED IN PLACE OF OTHER PERSONAL PROTECTIVEEQUIPMENT. WHENEVER POSSIBLE ALWAYS DE-ENERGISE LINES BEFORE WORKING ON ORAROUND THEM. ALTHOUGH THE INSUALTION ON SALISBURY TOOLS IS IMPACT RESISTANTAND FLAME RETARDANT, EACH TOOL SHOULD BE INSPECTED PRIOR TO EACH USE FORCRACKS, CUTS OR OTHER DAMAGE. SHOULD THE YELLOW INSULATION BECOME VISIBLETHROUGH THE OUTER ORANGE LAYER, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

12CodesNFPA 70e:National Fire Protection Association’s Standard forElectrical Safety in the Workplace is a voluntary standardthat is widely considered to be the best practice guide forprotecting workers from arc flash. It addresses electricalsafety requirements in workplaces during activities such asthe installation, operation, maintenance, and demolition ofelectric conductors, electric equipment, communicationsequipment, and raceways.The essence of NFPA 70e, from a Personal ProtectionEquipment (PPE) perspective, is to identify the threat andaccurately match your PPE to the threat. It is beyond thescope of this website to explain NFPA 70e, but we dorecommend visiting www.NFPA.org for completeinformation.HRC:HRC is an abbreviation for Hazard/Risk Category. This is aclassification system published in NFPA 70e which is usedto match protective clothing and equipment to tasksperformed on energized equipment.Note: There are five Hazard/Risk Categories (0, 1, 2, 2*, 3and 4) with clothing system arc rating requirements rangingfrom 0 to 40 cal/cm2. See NFPA 70e, Table 130.7(C) (11)and Article 130 for complete information.Arc Rating:An arc rating can be reported as ATPV or Ebt and it is usedto match protective clothing and equipment to the threat.ATPV stands for Arc Thermal Performance Value and isexpressed in cal/cm2. Some people in the industry may referto this as “Cals”, and while this term is not recognized bycode, it is short for calories-per-square-centimeter. Thismeasure represents the amount of energy a material willblock until there is a 50% probability that there would be asecond degree burn. This number describes the protectiveclothing’s ability to resist heat.Incident Energy, which is the amount of energy from anelectrical arc that is likely to be experienced at a certaindistance, describes the threat. It too is expressed in cal/cm2.ASTM 1506:This is “Standard Performance Specification for FlameResistant Textile Materials for Wearing Apparel for Use byElectrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc andRelated Thermal Hazards.”It sets the minimum performance criteria for fabric that isused as a flame resistant garment. It includes requirementsfor flame travel, seam strength, tearing, bursting strength andmore.NESC 2007:The National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) has beenadopted by municipalities and states around the country. Itwas designed for people working on electrical supply, utilities,communications and associated equipment. It compliments theNFPA 70e code because it provides practical work rules forelectrical generation, distribution and communication, orpeople who must work on or near energized parts because it isnot possible or practical to de-energize.There are three clothing system ratings in this code 4-cal, 8-caland 12 cal systems which are based on voltage, fault currentand maximum clearing times for voltages up to 800kV.NFPA 2112:This is a flame resistant garment standard for protection ofindustrial personnel against a flash fire. This standard containsdozens of tests which the material, fabric, accessories andgarment must pass. For example, the garment must achieveless than a 50% total body burn, as tested on a thermalmannequin. The fabric must maintain flame resistantproperties after 100 commercial washes, a low thermalshrinkage, maintain colorfastness and a host of other designstandards which are all part of NFPA 2112. For moreinformation www.nfpa.orgNote: It is important to note you cannot certify a fabric, butonly a garment to this standard. Many brands of flameresistant garments can not pass this test.OSHA 1910.269:This Occupational Safety and Health Administration standardapplies to electric utilities and generation plants when work isperformed on existing facilities. It requires that employeeswho work around energized electrical parts not wear clothingthat, when exposed to flames or electric arc, does notcontribute to the extent of the burn injury. In commonlanguage, it requires that in the event of a hazardous incident,your clothing can not make the injury worse.This means do not wear clothing that will support combustion,melt, or have high rates of thermal shrinkage. This ruleprohibits polyester, nylon and other synthetic non-FRmaterials.Flame resistant clothing that meets the requirements of ASTMF 1506 “Standard Performance Specification for FlameResistant Textile Materials for Wearing Apparel for Use byElectrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc andRelated Thermal Hazards” complies with OSHA1910.269. www.OSHA.govOSHA 1910.32:This is a broad explanation of the employers’ responsibility totheir employees. In general terms, it states that it is theemployers’ duty to identify potential danger and protect theemployee from those hazards. OSHA has used this “GeneralDuty Clause” to cite employers who did not require the use offlame resistant clothing after their employees were burned.
