Another Electrcian Video

This one not so nice. So I'll just link to it. I was shown this during a day long Arc Flash Training my company gives us. They also give us the protective equipment to avoid being injured in the event that things go wrong. We are, as far as I know, the ONLY electrical contractor in West Michigan that provides this ON the TRUCKS....not back in the shop but right out where someone might need it. The cost of that must be tremendous but they obviously care about us. Unlike the Ultimate Electrician video this did happen in my work environment. The pictures of the scene of the accident had a huge impact on me. It could easily be me. Every once in awhile keep me accountable. Ask me if I've been wearing it.

P.S. a spoiler....there is a happy ending

I was glad to read your blog and hear that your company provides arc flash training and arc flash safety equipment is provided on your trucks. A recent survey showed that most electricians, in particular in construction, have not received arc flash training and are unaware of the danger.
