Pretty good video explaining the basics for arc flash and electric shock PPEs. All AR balaclavas I've used or seen actually covers the entire mouth at a minimum up to the nose. And most extend the coverage to include the nose. There's a few brands that cover the entire face except for the eyes. So was the balaclava you were demonstrating needing to be pulled up a little or was it designed that way? I'm guessing you guys are from Canada because of your reference to Z462 rather than NFPA 70E. On a side note, some of the video snip its and pictures showing technicians working in or taking voltage readings in electrical equipment should have been wearing AR PPE in addition to their rubber insulating gloves. Some of the videos appear to be dated so that may explain the lack of arc flash PPEs. 4:30 5:12 In any case you Canadians did a pretty darn good job with this video.
Holy fuck thanks man! I don't think ill ever go back to stealing power in track pants and a shirt again its fucking redicalous getting set to fire every time
The most dangerous arc flashes can exert as much as 140-150 dB SPL, and up to 35,000 degrees of heat (that is 4x hotter than the sun's surface!!!!!!!!!!!)
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 70E standard has a special section regarding arc flash and needed PPE to protect you from such hazards.
But the best way to stop arc flashes from happening is to un-energize the power before doing work inside such electrical stuff, if at all possible. Yes, open the circuits. There may be multiple disconnects required on the power-down, and be sure that lock-out/tagout rules are followed to the letter.
I really enjoyed this video. Hope you would upload a video on safe work practices and procedures mentioned in CSA Z462 electrical safety

@Peter YO Kahuii not with that attitude
Nice
Thankអរគុណ

Dude what abput their feet ? What kind of boots do they wear ?
Leather boots. They make some that are better for shocks, but leather boots is usually what I've seen

My brother I keep seeing you in electrical based video comments.
