PPE for electricity and power

Work within the power and utility sector requires protective clothing certified against electric arc according to EN 61482-2 and heat and flame according to EN ISO 11612, often in combination with high-visibility clothing according to EN ISO 20471 for high-traffic environments. This industry is a fundamental part of society's infrastructure, responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.

Operations span everything from industrial production and transport to the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of electrical installations, power lines, and transformer stations.

RISKS WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY AND POWER

The electricity and power industry is an industry where the work is often hazardous and can lead to serious accidents if the work is not carried out in a safe manner or if safety procedures are not followed. Risks include, among other things, electric shocks, arc flashes, fires and explosions, but also fall accidents when working at height, for example from poles or masts. In addition, working near high-voltage installations can involve particular hazards, as very high energy levels can be released in a short time.

To reduce the risks, high demands are placed on training, safety procedures, personal protective equipment and careful planning of the work. Regulations and standards in occupational health and safety and electrical safety are therefore central in the industry. By working systematically with risk assessments and a safety culture, companies and employees can contribute to a safer working environment while meeting society’s need for a stable and secure electricity supply.

In summary, work with electricity and power is associated with several serious risks. Through good planning, proper training, the use of protective equipment and careful compliance with safety rules, these risks can be reduced and the working environment made safer for everyone working in the industry.

When you work with electricity, it is important to use protective clothing that is certified according to EN 61482-2 in combination with EN ISO 11612, as there is a risk of being exposed to an arc flash. In addition, high-visibility garments according to EN ISO 20471 are often needed. An arc flash consists of several different hazards that affect the protective clothing in different ways. By using a Tranemo Skinsafe™ system where the outer layer has PPE 2 with an ELIM above 8 cal/cm², the effects of these risks are minimised.
