Tracks: Risk Reduction and Management

Have you ever been handed an arc flash assessment report (usually in a 2-inch binder), reviewed 150-plus pages of various forms of data, and still did not really understand your true arc flash risk? If you know what the risks are, have you wondered what to do about them? Are you debating whether you really need an arc flash study conducted in the first place? This session will address these questions by breaking down why studies are performed, how they are typically conducted, what the average report looks like, the key data points to look for (and why they’re important), and what to do with the results.
