I work for a large seed company and thier seems to be some confusion on when the arc flash label PPE requirements are nesessary. can anyone help out or direct me to the proper documentation?
so the question is at what point does the ppe on the arc flash label on the panel need to be enforced? is it as soon as you step into the boundry regardless of covers and doors? example if you were to open the door (but all the covers are still on) of a class 1 480v breaker panel and just look at or take a IR picture of the breakers and then close the door is full ppe listed on the arc flash label required to be worn? how about if you simply walk by the panel within the boundry with everything closed up? I have herd yes and no but i cant seem to find a black and white answer.
thanks
