South Africa averages at least one arc flash incident with lost time injuries per month and at least one fatality every two months. This statistic is based only on cases reported in the Highveld media and is not necessarily representative of the actual number of incidents which is believed to be greater.

Standards South Africa is publishing the first standard which is dedicated to electrical arc flash safety and will soon follow with standards which aim to reduce the number of arc flash incidents and the effects of such incidents in the workplace. This article introduces the soon to be published SANS 724 “Personal Protective Equipment: Protective clothing against the thermal hazards of an electric arc” and conclude with further developments in the field of electrical arc flash.

Etcetera Edutainment, a Pittsburgh-based provider of simulation and game-based safety training, earlier this month announced the release of “Electrical Safety Sim: Low Voltage”–a simulation-based training module that allows workers to learn and practice the principles of NFPA- and OSHA-based electrical safety.

Zarheer Jooma, Electrical Engineer in South Africa has teamed with e-Hazard.com to provide the most up-to-date arc flash safety training in South Africa.
