Essentials Webinar: Arc Flash Risk
13-Mar-2025
About this event
Join us for an insightful Essentials Webinar with Tim Stewart, an electrical engineer at Unitywater.
In 2017, Unitywater experienced an arc flash incident—fortunately, no one was injured. This event highlighted the need for a structured approach to managing arc flash risk. In response, Unitywater assessed and categorised the arc flash risk across all its switchboards, developed operational procedures, and implemented targeted training for staff at all levels.
In this session, Tim will share key learnings from Unitywater’s approach, including:
- How to assess and define arc flash risk
- Developing procedures to keep staff safe
- Tailoring training for different roles across the organisation
This webinar is essential for anyone involved in electrical safety, operations, or asset management in the water sector. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Unitywater’s experience in managing a critical safety risk.
