Arc flash incidents don’t just happen because someone ignored safety, they can happen because the data behind the label wasn’t right. If your study doesn’t reflect real equipment conditions, that PPE rating could be off by a mile.

Quality studies start with accurate field data, and that’s what keeps your people safe.

Approach boundaries matter and so does your PPE.

Arc flash and shock boundaries aren’t suggestions, they’re life-saving limits defined by NFPA 70E. This visual says it all: the closer you get, the more protection and qualification you need.

Unqualified + Unprotected = At Risk
Qualified + Proper PPE = Go Home Safely

Know the boundaries. Respect the gear. Protect your people.

One thing that quietly creates risk in a lot of facilities is how roles are defined. Authorized employees, affected employees, contractors, on paper it’s clear. In reality, those lines blur fast.

Someone helps “just for a second,” someone observes a task, someone jumps in to keep things moving. The moment roles aren’t clear, control starts to slip. Lockout depends on ownership, who is responsible for isolating, verifying, and restoring energy. If that ownership isn’t crystal clear in the field, not just in training, the system weakens.

Once you reach 1.2 cal/cm², the conversation changes. That’s the point where arc flash exposure is no longer theoretical, it’s regulated, defined, and enforceable. NFPA 70E lays out clear minimum PPE requirements based on the calculated incident energy, not personal judgment or comfort.

Arc-rated shirt and pants or coveralls matched to the exposure, face and head protection, safety glasses, hearing protection, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, and proper footwear all work together as a system. Missing one piece weakens the whole thing.

This is why accurate studies and labels matter. When the numbers are right, the PPE decision isn’t a guess, it’s a standard designed to keep people protected.

Every arc flash study we deliver goes through a rigorous in-house review by a professional engineer licensed in your state. This step isn’t implemented by everyone in the industry, but it’s what ensures accuracy and trust.

When your workers’ safety is on the line, “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Have your labels been updated to match the new NEC 2026 standard? A lot can change in an electrical system over time, and outdated labels can create confusion when workers need clear information the most.

The new code cycle is a good opportunity to review whether your labels, studies, and documentation still reflect the real conditions in the field.

PPE is your last line of defense, not your first. Yes, wear it. But don’t stop there.

Too often we see PPE worn wrong:
- Sleeves rolled up
- Missing earplugs
- Buttons left undone
- Rubber over leather

It’s not just about wearing PPE, it’s about wearing it right. Assuming your team knows how to suit up? That’s a risk you can’t afford.

Group lockout solves complexity, but it introduces its own risks if not managed well.

When multiple crews or trades are involved, the system relies on shared control through hasps or lock boxes. Each worker still applies their personal lock, maintaining individual protection while enabling coordination .

Where programs struggle is visibility and accountability. If it is not clear who is still working, or which energy points are secured, confusion builds quickly.

Done right, group lockout creates structure. Done poorly, it creates assumptions.

Just because there’s no arc flash hazard doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.

In this video, we clear up a common misconception: while insulated gloves with leather protectors do offer arc flash protection, their primary purpose is shock protection. And shock hazards can exist even when an arc flash risk doesn’t.

Understanding the difference isn’t just technical, it’s critical to keeping your team safe.

When clients take the time to recognize someone for being courteous, professional, and genuine, it reinforces something we believe strongly at Herzig Engineering: trust is built long before the final report is delivered.

Whether it’s field testing, arc flash data collection, or troubleshooting critical equipment, the experience on site matters just as much as the outcome. People remember how your team communicates, how they carry themselves, and whether they make the process easier or harder. Thank you Leyton!
