Arc Flash Hazard Analysis: Protect Your Team & Stay OSHA/NFPA 70E Compliant

C&H Electric helps Connecticut’s commercial & industrial facilities prevent costly arc flash incidents with certified Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and compliance services.

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

Arc flash incidents are among the most dangerous electrical hazards in the workplace, capable of causing severe injuries, equipment damage, and costly downtime. An arc flash occurs when electrical current deviates from its intended path, creating an intense burst of heat and pressure. Temperatures can reach up to 35,000°F—hotter than the surface of the sun—posing a serious risk to personnel working near electrical equipment.

To mitigate these risks, facilities must conduct an Arc Flash Hazard Analysis, also known as an Incident Energy Analysis. This assessment identifies potential arc flash hazards, determines the severity of incident energy exposure, and establishes the necessary protective measures, including Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements. Compliance with NFPA 70E and OSHA regulations ensures a safer work environment and minimizes liability for businesses.

What Is Arc Flash & Why It Matters​

Arc flash is a sudden release of electrical energy that can cause severe injuries, fires, or even fatalities. OSHA and NFPA 70E require facilities to perform regular arc flash hazard analyses to:

  • Identify and label dangerous equipment.

  • Protect employees and contractors with proper PPE.

  • Prevent downtime, fines, and liability.

Why Companies Need Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

  • If you manage a commercial or industrial facility, you’re responsible for electrical safety compliance. An arc flash incident can cost:

    • $150K+ in OSHA fines & lawsuits

    • Unplanned outages leading to revenue loss

    • Worker injuries & long-term liability

    A hazard analysis is not optional—it’s the cornerstone of a safe, compliant electrical system.

  • Arc Flash Evaluation – Helps determine PPE and label requirements
