The unpredictable nature of an Arc plus the intense heat and pressure exerted during an event makes it particularly challenging to protect against.
At best we can only roughly calculate the energy levels and resultant effect based upon approximations of what we feel may be the scenario of such an occurrence.
Putting on specialist clothing during specific tasks to add protection is good practice but accidents happen and (Read More) the nature of an Arc makes it important that all workers are protected to some degree should the worst occur.
The direction of an Arc is never predictable and it may not always be just the worker in the immediate vicinity at risk. PPE is there to reduce the level of potential injury should all other safeguards fail, it is important that Arc safety products are from well known and trusted brands ensuring competence in the design and quality of the product.
