The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working to improve electrical safety at a major hospital and multiple medical clinics in Georgia, according to an article on the Crain's Cleveland website.
Electrical safety studies are planned at the Winn Army Community Hospital and 18 clinic buildings located at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.
The electrical system safety studies will include in-depth analysis of possible risk associated with arc flash hazards and short-circuit fault currents, and improved device coordination for greater system reliability.
The arc flash studies will help the U.S. Army meet new Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety regulations that took effect last month.
