The main harm caused by electric arc to the human body is as follows:
1. Death by electric shock
When workers are directly exposed to electric shock, it may cause electrocution or severe burns. In fact, even fire-resistant protective clothing cannot protect workers from the risk of electrocution;
2. Severe burns caused by burning clothing
Workers do not have to be exposed to an arc to be injured. The radiant heat generated by the arc can melt tools, It can cause daily clothing to catch fire, such as cotton clothes and polyester clothes, which will catch fire without a flame. Once such clothes are ignited, they will continue to burn and cause fatal injuries to the wearer;
3. Severe burns caused by bursting of clothes
The explosion or concussion force generated by the arc will cause daily clothes to burst. Open, causing the worker’s body to be directly exposed to high heat, flame or molten metal (such as molten metal tools and equipment, etc.);
4 , Synthetic fiber underwear dripping melt caused serious burns
Even if the outer clothing does not burn, the high heat generated by the arc is enough to melt the synthetic fiber material Underwear, because the underwear is close to the skin, causes very serious, even fatal injuries to the wearer.
Many examples abroad show that if these workers wear daily clothes at work, they will often suffer greater injuries. In fact, more than half of the arc-related injuries reported to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) are caused by workers’ clothing burning.
Therefore, it has become a common practice in European and American countries to assess the degree of danger in a specific working environment and provide workers with appropriate arc personal protective clothing Universal safety standards require. Personal protective clothing that counteracts the heating effects of arcs can improve accident victim survival rates by providing more time to escape and reducing the severity of burn injuries.
