ARC FLASH AWARENESS DAY

7th June 2024

Arc Flash Awareness Day is a focal point for everyone involved with work where arc flash is a risk. The day has been created to drive awareness of the risks of arc flash incidents, and to share best practice on how to avoid and mitigate those risks.

A wide range of partners have chosen to support Arc Flash Awareness Day and Thorne & Derrick International are delighted to help support the inaugural event.

We’re all committed to spreading the safety message and to making sure that everyone comes home safely.
