ARC Flash Hazard Analysis - Virtual Learning
Course Methodology
This Electrical Engineering training course will illustrate the dangers of arc flashes to participants. Each participant will receive a copy of the comprehensive training course notes. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays, video clips and power point presentation.
The training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem-solving workshop sessions.
Course Objectives
At the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Understand the importance of arc flash accident prevention in medium and high voltage electrical installation
- Explain the necessity of working safely
- Learn the dangers and hazards of high voltage electrical faults
- Determine how to avoid accidents at your workplace
- Analyse the various methods of arc flash reduction devices
Target Audience

- Safety Officers
Target Competencies
Organisational Impact
Upon completion of the training course, the organizational impact would be:
- Technical training and up-skilling to improve and realise the full potential of a competent workforce
- Productivity increase through minimisation of project time acceptance/design and commissioning
- Identification of opportunities for improvements due to a deep understanding of the presented state-of-the-art technologies
- Networking of personnel with technology leaders and other engineers and technicians with strong field experience
- Exposure of personnel to the standard international procedures
- Attitude change of workforce, as continuous follow up of new technologies and their up taking could otherwise create a workforce with high resistance to change due to lack of understanding
Personal Impact
On successful completion of this training course, delegate will be able to understand:
- The importance of safety in high voltage installations
- Understand the hazards of arc flash accidents
- Identify the dangers and risks of accidents in a high voltage installation
- Appreciate the importance of hazard warning labels
- Be careful and aware of limits of approach
- Recognize the effort of implementing arc flash hazard reduction devices
