Arc Flash Safety Awareness is a Coastal safety training program that provides essential safety awareness to prevent arc flash accidents and explosions that cause more than 2,000 injuries per year. The program draws its information from NFPA 70E – which OSHA has begun to enforce. Arc Flash Safety Awareness covers lockout/tagout, electrical shock and flash hazard awareness, personal protective equipment and safe work practices. Arc Flash Safety Awareness is available on DVD and video and comes with 10 employee handbooks.

According to the NFPA, an arc flash is “a dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc” that can cause severe burns, injuries and even death. The first step to compliance with NFPA 70E and to keeping your workers safe is a comprehensive safety program. Arc Flash Safety Awareness will provide just that.
