Concussion Injuries
Injuries resulting from the explosive concussion of an arc flash can be the direct result of the forces at play. Nearby workers can be propelled into other objects in the area, causing blunt-force injuries. Disorientation could result in a worker encountering other hazardous conditions.
Workers caught in the blast can suffer collapsed lungs, concussions, and hearing loss, as well as vision loss from the blinding flash. The NEC requires plugs that insert snuggly into the ear canal. Standard hearing plugs do not provide sufficient protection to prevent hearing loss at the noise volume generated by arc flashes.
