Arc Flash Safety
Compliance rules the Pharma industry - in chemistry used, research conducted, labeling language employed, claims advertised,
sales procedures followed, and in a million other aspects of the manufacture and distribution of drugs. Yet in managing the
arc flash hazards inherent in pharmaceutical production, simple compliance can never be enough.
And why? Because minimum federal standards merely guard against the chance of burns, and make no mention of the loss of limbs,
eyesight, hearing, and internal organ damage that can accompany an arc flash event. Simple compliance, in other words, is just
too simple. The Pharma industry deserves better, and has become accustomed to achieving more than the minimum.
Eaton diagnostic arc flash studies, retrofit programs and employee training combine to reduce arc flash hazards through
equipment labeling, upgrading personal protective equipment (PPE) standards, and reducing the costly inconvenience inherent in
a less-stringent approach. Drawing on Eaton expertise, pharma companies can exceed compliance standards, better protect
employees, and save money over the long term.
Simple arc flash compliance only means higher liability, costly recovery, and lost productivity. The Pharma industry deserves
better. The arc flash experts at Eaton can get you there.
