WHY ARC FLASHES HAPPEN

There are a number of reasons why an Arc Flash event can occur, but the ones involving people are usually preventable.

Improper tools, improper electrical equipment, corrosion of equipment, improper work techniques and lack of training are just some of the events that can lead to a devastating arc flash / arc blast event.
