When are Arc Flash Studies Needed?
Every commercial building is required to have an arc flash study performed every 5 years. Arc flash labels need to be re calculated and employee trainings need to be re administered. This is according to NFPA 70E and OSHA regulations.
How Long Do Arc Flash Studies Take
Anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the size of the project. Usually scheduling is a bigger factor for timing, so be sure to book early before our schedule fills up.
Arc Flash Study Overview
An Arc Flash study is required to be performed every 5 years or after electrical changes to maintain OSHA and NFPA compliance and ensure workplace safety.
There are generally 3 requirements of an Arc Flash Study to remain OSHA and NFPA compliant:
First, a certified and experienced Electrical Engineer needs to evaluate your electrical system, and calculate hazards.
Second, labels with the calculations need to be displayed on all high voltage electrical equipment that is serviced.
Third, all employees with access to high voltage equipment need to go through a comprehensive Arc Flash Training program.
EAP provides solutions for all for your workplace electrical compliance needs with our comprehensve Arc Flash Study.

Do I Need an Arc Flash Study
Do you Need an Arc Flash Study:
The 2024 NFPA 70 has been released and there are changes that could impact you.
Employers will be required to update employee trainings, and safety programs to meet the new standards.
Equipment and hazard labels should also be audited to ensure maintenance programs and PPE requirements are compliant with the updates.
Standards for Arc Flash Safety:
OSHA and the NFPA require electrical systems to be evaluated for Arc Flash hazards every 5 years or after any renovations that involve changes to the electrical system as the code minimum.
Getting your system evaluated every three years is considered the best practice since trainings and safety programs require updates at a three year interval and the electrical code (NFPA 70) is usually updated every three years.
Updated and accurate electrical hazard calculations are required to be displayed on all hazardous electrical equipment that is accessible by employees like switchboards and panelboards, motor control centers, transformers etc.
Training on Arc Flash hazards and preventative measures need to be provided to employees with access to electrical equipment ever year via classroom, virtual, or on-the-job learning. Also, the training program needs to be updated every three years with the latest standards.
Documentation of each aspect of the arc flash study should be kept and a safety program to address electrical hazards, worker roles, safety-related work practices, PPE, and employee training needs to be created and implemented from the documentation. This also needs to be audited and updated every year.
