Essential Elements of an Arc Flash Risk Assessment

As facility managers look to evaluate proposals for an arc flash risk assessment, a common issue often surfaces. It’s difficult to sort out the project scope and significant differences in proposals. In addition, as bids are solicited for an arc flash risk assessment, many times there is an assumption that NFPA 70E is the standard — which leads to the misconception that the company does not have to create its own scope of work specifications.
