Follow on Google News | Arc Flash Safety Soars With New Hazard Label SoftwareNew arc flash safety labeling software increases workplace safety and OSHA compliance with a convenient, user-friendly interface for creating, storing, and printing your own arch flash danger and warning labels and sings in-house.
By: Graphic Products, Inc. The improved arc flash labeling software boasts a straightforward user interface that easily interacts with your existing PC. Developed by Oregon-based Graphic Products, Inc., this handy software is meant to work alongside the DuraLabel PRO label printer to create any number of arc flash warning and hazard labels. Labels can be made indicating not only the warning and potential danger, but also required PPE (personal protective equipment) and boundaries. The arc flash software pulls information from arc flash studies to populate label data; the software does not facilitate the actual studies. Flash Label software can store each label made for future use and reference; new labels can always be added and existing labels can be easily modified or deleted. Software installation is easy with a one-click installation guide. Using the DuraLabel PRO, arc flash labels can be created and printed in mere minutes. The thermal transfer desktop printer, the newest in the line of superior label printers offered by Graphic Products, Inc., is a flexible and versatile printer that boasts an increased printing speed, faster processing, and easy-to-load supplies. Keeping a label printer onsite means facilities can be quickly and conveniently outfitted with all required electrical shock and arc flash warning labels. Doing so fulfills the new NEC Standard, Article 110.16. An arc flash occurs when a considerable amount of concentrated radiant energy explodes outward from electrical equipment, often propelling loose materials through the air. The pressure waves emitted from such an explosion can damage a person’s eyesight or hearing or cause severe burning. Arc flashes are not limited to specific types of equipment; any electrical device, regardless of voltage, can produce arc flash when the energy is high enough to sustain an arc. Panel boards and switchboards, transformers, drive cabinets, and any place that can have equipment failure should be outfitted with arc flash warning labels. Those employees that work as mechanics, electricians, or as HVAC personnel are especially susceptible to these dangers. Graphic Products, Inc., being a top authority on OSHA requirements and arc flash labeling standards, can outfit any facility with the needed label printer and accompanying software to ensure such regulations are met. The homegrown company attributes its nearly 40 years of success in the industry to its commitment to outstanding customer service and proven reputation as a leading manufacturer and supplier of superior industrial labeling printers and supplies.
