The Impact of Incorrect PPE Usage

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a critical line of defense in protecting workers from the dangers of arc flash incidents. These incidents, characterized by intense bursts of energy caused by an electrical fault, can result in severe injury or death. Therefore, using the correct PPE, properly sized and worn, is essential for ensuring safety in environments where arc flash risks exist.
