ARC FLASH LABELING
DuraLabel’s arc flash labeling guide outlines how facilities can create clear, compliant labels to help protect workers from electrical hazards. It explains key requirements from NFPA 70E and NEC standards, including which equipment needs labeling and the information labels should communicate, such as nominal system voltage, arc flash boundary, incident energy or PPE category, and equipment identification. The guide also covers label placement, durability and formatting considerations, emphasizing that effective labeling should be easy to read and withstand the environment where it is installed. A consistent labeling program helps workers quickly understand hazards, select appropriate PPE and follow safer electrical work practices.
