Have you heard the buzz on the new 20 cal/cm² standard in the PPE
world? Well, if not, this brief post
will attempt to explain what has been going on in the past 6-7 months, and what
exactly is changing.
Perhaps the best place to start is with Hugh Hoagland’s
article from last October. As he
explains, both the NESC and NFPA 70E have changed for 2012. Thanks to some new, more advanced testing
methods and understandings of arc flash itself, the recommendation for low
voltage is shifting from an HRC based system to a more specific 20 cal/cm² protection.
He goes on to talk about evaluating the PPE needs of a
particular task, and some of the challenges the company performing the task may
face. For that reason, National Safety
Apparel is adapting to create familiar, comfortable, and varying garments with
increased protection. As we say, we’re
“Innovating for You,” and this is going to be a big part of 2012’s
advancements.

product information, check out the PDF document linked below.
