Safety First

Working in the electrical and construction industry we must make certain we have in place safety policies and programs to protect our employees here at Spectrum Electrical Services, Inc., as well as anyone else around or near the project site. Read the excerp below from Elvex to understand why we provide our electricians with ARC Shield Protection.

"An arc flash hazard is a dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an electric arc. This explosive condition includes a broad spectrum of electromagnetic energy, plasma, fragments and a spray of molten materials. When an electric current passes through the air between ungrounded conductors or between ungrounded and grounded conductors. Temperatures can reach 35,000 degree Fahrenheit making exposure to this extreme thermal energy hazardous." (http://www.elvex.com/arc-shield.htm)
