Dear ArcLetter Member,

The ArcWear™ Electric Arc and Flash Fire Newsletter is a quick update on Flame Resistant Clothing issues and news from OSHA and standards committees. This newsletter is FREE and will bring you up to date on the issues that surround flame resistant clothing for flash fire hazards and the electric arc. For previous newsletters or to sign up, visit http://www.arcwear.com

With this last class in Louisville, KY e-Hazard passed a milestone.  Over 300 trainers in the US, Canada, South Africa and Brazil have been trained to use the e-Hazard NEW 2009 NFPA 70E training materials from e-Hazard.com.  If you have been through our TTT you can come back for the full four days for $999 (plus video cost) and receive all the training and the new e-Hazard materials.  The March special will continue with the Salt Lake City TTT October 27-29, 2009. Normal price $4000 for LV and $2000 for the HV but for 2009, you can recieve BOTH LV and HV for $5000.  This includes expert instruction and support from the e-Hazard team and over $2000 in videos for your training career.  e-Hazard even welcomes competitors to use our materials.  We just want the BEST training materials available to everyone.  With e-Hazard.com license you only need to purchase the workbooks.  If you don’t have the new materials, they are free to those who have been through the TTT when they purchase workbooks.

Special extended through 2009.

ArcWear is partnering with electric utilities to provide third party arc flash testing data at no charge.  Any utility wanting to test their specific layered systems will receive ArcWear’s already low pricing on arc testing and ArcWear will procure the cloth and make the data available on our website free of charge.  Many clothing companies are also participating by offering their data.  This will be full data reports from the ArcWear archives.  The goal is to prevent additional testing when unnecessary.
