Graphic outlines safety requirements set by NFPA 70E Standards
Know your limits. One step too close to an energized piece of equipment may cause burns that char deep into your flesh and blisters that reach beyond the second layer of your skin. In the event of an arc flash, personal protective equipment (PPE) is your last line of defense. But knowing your boundary limits just might save your skin.
Graphic Products has published an Arc Flash Boundary Infographic, which outlines the three safety boundaries around electrical equipment, as developed by The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). NFPA developed these boundaries in an effort to protect employees from the hazards of arc flash and electric shock while working on or near energized equipment.
