This story doesn’t say if clothing ignited.  CPS in San Antonio, TX is in arc rated clothing most of the time.  These types of exposures are covered by OSHA 1910.269 and NESC.  Both require hazard assessment.  NESC 2007 requires protection from reasonable estimate of the energy and arc rated clothing.  More later.
