ScienceDirect:: Arc Flash and Organizational Issues

I generally don't post links to science papers that require a fee in order to read the paper. However, this paper looked particularly interesting and the area of study so important that I thought it worthwhile.

The paper is on the ScienceDirect web site and is titled: "Reducing non-contact electric arc injuries: An investigation of behavioral and organizational issues"

The abstract states:

"This study fills a vacuum in electrical training with a focus on the organizational and behavioral aspects of arc flash incidents. The research is cross-cutting in its scope, in that the results apply not only to mining and construction, but many other industries employing electricians."
