Arc flash labeling

Ever wonder exactly how you should go about making an arc flash warning label? For starters, make sure you are working with a trained electrical engineer. After an engineer develops a hazard identification plan, us existing standards-based instructions to label your arc flash hazard so that it is easily identified and avoided. The site linked below has some good information on the subject.

From the site:

"OSHA 29 CFR, 1910 clearly outlines regulations for hazard communication. Labeling of hazards is regulated in many hazardous environments, including environments where electrical, chemical or other hazards may impact safety. A proper arc flash warning label should have a clearly visible color bar, preferrably bright orange, with the appropriate warning or hazard sign (often the word WARNING accompanied by a triangular ! symbol). The label should inform the viewer of the presence of an arc flash hazard, including information on hazard boundaries and PPE. It is critical that the label be durable and long-lasting enough to hold up to harsh conditions."
