As safety seminars go, this one was a real blast. Quite literally.
In May of this year, Cornerstone Safety Group conducted live NFPA 70E arc flash testing as part of its Electrical Safety/NFPA 70E Seminar. Held at KEMA Powertest Laboratory in Chalfont, Pa., the testing allowed attendees to witness live arc flash exposures to flame-resistant (FR) and non-FR clothing utilizing common low-voltage 480-600 electrical equipment that could typically be found at most work facilities.
