DurationThis unit covers the knowledge required to recognise arc flash hazards and ways to mitigate those hazards, recognise when it is unsafe to proceed with the work, and for personnel to select and recognise limitations of the personal protective equipment to protect themselves from the hazards.
Application
The knowledge developed in this unit will be applied by licensed electrical workers, electrical engineers and their supervisors in electrical installations wherever risks of high electrical energy situations exist, and arc flash incidents may occur.
Course Information
Participants will develop knowledge of the Arc Flash risks involved with high energy electrical sources, through studies of actual incidents, and learn how to apply Arc Flash Hazard Safety procedures.
They will learn about the latest relevant legislation, guides and standards, and understand the meaning of common Arc Flash terminology, including Arc Flash Energy, Incident Energy, Arc Blast, Arc Flash Boundary and Labels. Exercises include Arc Flash Risk Analyses and how to calculate PPE Categories and select appropriate PPE, and the importance of responsibilities and reporting.
Our Arc Flash Hazard Safety (AFHS) course can be delivered separately over 8 hours in a classroom environment with access to work practices information and resources as per a normal workplace. Delivery can easily be combined with other relevant PPT courses.

Our Trainers’ familiarity with major clients and projects in the industries in which you operate means that we communicate with you in your language and understand what is relevant to you when it comes to your training needs.
Your learning experience with Power & Plant Training will benefit from our familiarity with industry compliance requirements, legislative standards (AS, IEC, IEEE, ANSI and others), mining regulations, hazardous areas, and general Health Safety and Environment (HSE) issues.
The electrical industry today places demands on experience and understanding of plant and systems design as well as power equipment, earthing and software.
Inexperience can result in safety and compliance issues or performance concerns. Alternatively, over-design driven by lack of confidence can lead to budget overruns.
PPT is here to assist you to be ready for, and to take advantage of, the opportunities your industry presents over the coming years. Our dedicated policy of small class sizes ensures that we are able to provide you with a very effective and personal training service.
