FREE Arc Flash Label Information Guide

October 24, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
A key safety factor in any facility in which energized equipment exists, is that everyone be able to understand and respond appropriately to the information on an arc flash warning label. This not only includes employees, but also vendors, contractors, inspectors, visitors and even supervisory and management staff. The new Arc Flash Label Information Guide from Graphic Products provides a method for quickly getting people up to speed on understanding the information on arc flash labels. It provides basic information about approach and protection boundaries, personal protective equipment (PPE), and how various energy hazards are determined. The objective is to provide a quick reference, that is easy to read, and which provides sufficient understanding of arc flash labels such that unqualified people will follow the boundary restrictions given on an arc flash warning label—and understand why they must obey those restrictions.

The Graphic Products’ Arc Flash Label Information Guide has been written to deliver the needed information in a concise manner. The average person will take about two minutes to read this one page guide. This guide is not intended to be used as arc flash training. Its purpose is to sufficiently inform those who are not involved with working on energized equipment, such that they will understand the importance of arc flash labels and maintain the required minimum boundary distances. The guide is particularly useful for use with vendors, contractors, inspectors and visitors who should be familiar with arc flash labels before they are allowed unescorted access to a facility.

The Arc Flash Label Information Guide is available FREE from Graphic Products. A copy may be requested online by going to their web site at:
