Abstract :
The Upstream Oil and Gas industry in Canada is significant in size and employs thousands of workers who are exposed daily to workplace hazards, which include arc flash and shock. Occupational health and safety management systems [3] [4] are common and mature within the companies that are producers and the services industries that support the producers, but there is a lack of content included related to arc flash and shock, or the development and implementation of stand-alone Electrical Safety Programs [1] [2] [10] [11] that effectively address proactive management of arc flash and shock.
