ELCOSH: Protection from Electric Shock and Arc Flash

The Electronic Library of Construction Occupational Safety and Health (CDC) has a detailed article about arc flash protection and PPE. The section on PPE in particular is excellent, providing more detail that I've seen elsewhere.

The topics covered in this article include:

Electric hazards

Electric Safety Principles

To De-Energize or Not to De-Energize

Working On or Near Live Circuits

The article is available at: http://www.cdc.gov/elcosh/docs/d0500/d000580/d000580.html
