Individuals who work directly with electrical equipment, such as electricians, engineers, and maintenance personnel. Employees who work near electrical hazards but do not directly interact with electrical equipment, such as management, labourers, cleaners and visitors to the facility. Outside contractors who may be working on or near electrical systems should also be trained to recognise and avoid arc flash hazards. Personnel who might respond to electrical incidents, such as safety officers and first responders, should be aware of the dangers and appropriate response measures.
