A Practical Guide to Arc Flash Studies: Why, How, and the Cost-Benefit
Date: Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
More than 25 years ago, the relatively small group of arc flash specialists believed arc flash studies would taper off once facilities completed their assessments. On the contrary, a quarter of a century later, we walk into plants with no arc flash labels, workers dressed in polyester-cotton daily workwear, and some confronting the topic for the first time. On the other hand, facilities that completed arc flash studies under earlier standards assume their existing results, labels, and PPE assignments remain correct when case studies show otherwise.
This webinar covers the full spectrum of arc flash studies for those new to the topic, those in the middle of one, those struggling to secure funding, and those revisiting older work. It walks safety professionals, electricians, engineers, EHS managers, and facilities leaders through what an arc flash study is, where it is required, how it is performed, and what the results mean for labeling, PPE selection, and process/equipment integrity. It covers ways to save money and resources, concluding with practical cost-benefits from real-world case studies: helping to bring the boss on board! Attendees are encouraged to post questions during the webinar; these will be answered live or afterwards.
