Exposure to an arc flash frequently results in a variety of serious injuries and in some cases, death. Workers have been injured at ten feet or more, away from the arc center. Worker injuries can include: damaged hearing, eyesight, and severe burns, requiring years of skin grafting and rehabilitation.
