What is arc-flash risk assessment?
Arc-flash risk assessment is a systematic evaluation of electrical systems to identify the potential for arc-flash incidents, calculate incident energy levels, determine safe working distances, and specify appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for personnel working on or near energised electrical equipment.
How does Avonside ensure compliance with UK electrical safety standards?
Our assessments are conducted in accordance with BS EN 61482, IEC 60364, and relevant UK electrical safety legislation. We provide practical, data-led evaluations with clear recommendations for controls and PPE, ensuring your operations meet all current regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
Do you provide training for authorised personnel?
Yes, we deliver specialist training for authorised persons working on high voltage utility systems, medium and low voltage distribution networks, and battery energy storage installations. Our programmes cover safe systems of work, permit-to-work procedures, isolation techniques, and emergency response protocols tailored to your specific operational environment.
Can you assess battery energy storage and EV powertrain systems?
Absolutely. Our assessments encompass battery energy storage systems (BESS) and EV powertrain installations, evaluating unique risks associated with DC systems, battery chemistry, thermal runaway potential, and high-voltage DC switching. We provide specific guidance on isolation procedures, earthing requirements, and appropriate PPE for these emerging technologies.
What documentation and recommendations are included in your assessments?
Our assessments include comprehensive technical reports with arc-flash incident energy calculations, recommended approach boundaries, detailed PPE specifications, labelling requirements, and practical control measures. We also provide isolation and earthing diagrams, safe working procedures, and ongoing support to help you implement our recommendations effectively.
How long does an arc-flash assessment take?
The timeline depends on the complexity and scale of your electrical installation. Typical assessments for medium-sized facilities are completed within 2-4 weeks from initial site survey to final report delivery. We work collaboratively with your team to minimise disruption and can accommodate urgent requirements where necessary.
