NFPA 70E Arc Flash Spanish

Arc flash hazards within electrical systems pose significant dangers if not effectively managed. Electric shock and arc flash incidents rank among the most prevalent electrical injuries in workplaces. Electric shock occurs when contact with live parts enables current to flow through the body, potentially causing severe harm, particularly if vital organs are affected.
Arc flash incidents result from electrical currents passing through the air, generating intense heat that can reach temperatures as high as 35,000 degrees Fahrenheit. These extreme temperatures have the potential to ignite clothing and inflict severe burns on workers near the arc flash event. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to safe work practices are essential for mitigating these risks.
