New Arc Flash Resource Web Site
Graphic Products announced today that it has launched a new web site to provide in-depth information about the hazards presented by arc flash, and ways to address those hazards.

The URL for the new web site is: www.arcflash.me.

The new web site is called: The Arc Flash Information Resource Center

Arc flash is increasingly being recognized as a serious hazard in the workplace. The high temperatures and explosive nature of arc flash can result in serious injury and fatalities.

In the past decade NFPA 70E and the NEC have addressed arc flash hazards. However, a new revision of the code to be issued in 2009 will result in some changes. In addition CSA Z462 will be issued in Canada later this year, providing Canada with its first arc flash codes. The Arc Flash Information Resource Center will provide up-date information about these new codes when they are issued.

One of the changes coming in the new NFPA arc flash code is that specific information will be required on arc flash labels. The new web site will be regularly updated to reflect the most current code requirements, as well as providing information about potential future changes.
