Arc Flash Awareness Training
Arc flash awareness training helps people understand one of the most serious electrical hazards found in electrical distribution . Arc flash incidents happen fast, release extreme energy, and often result in severe burns, impact injuries, or long-term harm. Without the right awareness and knowledge, even experienced individuals working with electrical equipment can underestimate the potential danger.
At Covol, we provide arc flash training, delivered by experienced electrical engineers. Our approach focuses on building a clear understanding of arc flash risk, supporting safer decisions when working with energised equipment.
Arc flash safety relies on more than procedures and PPE. Many arc flash accidents occur because people do not fully understand how arc flash occurs, what affects hazard severity, or how electrical systems behave during a fault.
Arc flash training supports electrical safety by helping workers:
Without training, people often rely on assumptions or past experience rather than risk analysis.
Where arc flash training is required, along with our other experienced Engineers, it can also be delivered by Jeremy Gadd, Covol’s Managing Director.
Jeremy has over 40 years of hands-on experience as an electrical engineer, specialising in arc flash mitigation, protection coordination, and system compliance. He has worked across a wide range of industries, supporting complex electrical systems in safety-critical environments.
This experience allows training to focus on:
Training reinforces that arc flash PPE is a last line of defence. PPE protects the body but does not remove risk. Safe work practices, planning, and control measures play a much greater role in reducing arc flash risk.
Arc flash training supports better decisions around:

Covol does not offer open public courses or standard certification programmes. Arc flash training is provided on request, tailored to your electrical systems, risks, and the people involved.
Training may suit organisations that:
We’ll discuss your needs and advise whether training is appropriate and what level of detail is intended.
