Graphic Products has released a video about arc flash boundaries and the importance of electrical safety. This light-hearted video is available online at the Graphic Products YouTube Channel and describes the three arc flash safety boundaries outlined in the NFPA 70E standard, along with what’s required for staying safe.
National Grid representatives and first responders joined forces to learn about the potentially hazardous effects of live wires in an emergency situation.

This document provides information on the most current arc flash labeling requirements, as well as best practices for creating and maintaining such labels.
