For electrical industry workers around the world, multiple standards exist to define safe work practices in electrical installations. In Canada, the “CSA Z462 : Workplace Electrical Safety” standard defines all the terms that apply to working on live equipment and outlines the details related to arc flash protective equipment and methods of live work. This webinar, given by Simon Giard-Leroux, P. Eng. at CIMA+, discusses the changes in the 2021 update of this standard, including the new PPE Category 5 (for up to 75 cal/cm²) and the official adoption of the IEEE 1584-2018 standard for arc flash studies in Canada.
