Herzig engineering is a nationally licensed electrical engineering firm specializing in arc flash hazard analysis and electrical safety training.
We supply Arc Flash Warning Labels, NFPA 70E training, and PPE requirements.

Arc flash labels are only valuable if workers understand how to use the information.
PPE requirements, approach boundaries, equipment identification, and study date all matter. Training workers to interpret that information correctly is just as important as placing the label itself.
A label alone does not create safety.

An electrical safety program is only as effective as the training behind it.
Policies, procedures, and safe work practices can't protect employees if no one understands how to apply them. That's why training is a fundamental part of a strong electrical safety program, it gives employees the knowledge and confidence to follow the procedures designed to keep them safe.
The goal isn't just to have a compliant program on paper. It's to make sure the people doing the work know how to put it into practice every day.

Electrical safety training isn't just about protecting qualified workers. Anyone who could be exposed to electrical hazards needs to understand the risks associated with their job.
That includes knowing how to recognize hazardous conditions, when to stay outside established boundaries, and when a task should be turned over to a qualified person. The goal is to ensure every employee understands their role in preventing electrical incidents, even if they never perform energized electrical work themselves.

Lockout/tagout is often viewed as a maintenance procedure, but at its core, it is a worker protection process.
Every lock, tag, verification step, and documented procedure exists for one reason: to ensure equipment cannot unexpectedly energize while someone is working on it. The challenge is that familiarity can sometimes create complacency. When workers perform the same task repeatedly, it becomes easier to skip a step, assume equipment is isolated, or rush through verification.
The strongest LOTO programs reinforce the idea that every isolation matters, every time.

Arc flash boundaries are often invisible to the untrained eye, but they mark where serious injury becomes likely. Crossing that line without the right PPE is like stepping into a blast zone.
When teams understand approach boundaries, they stop treating them as suggestions. Instead, they become part of a shared safety culture where people know exactly where it’s safe to stand and where it isn’t. That awareness prevents accidents before they start.

Many facilities treat electrical drawings as a formality, but they’re the only way to understand how energy actually moves through a system. When they’re outdated, even simple maintenance turns risky. Clean documentation is one of the easiest ways to reduce surprise hazards.

Electrical safety training isn't just for electricians.
Maintenance staff, operators, mechanics, and anyone who may work around energized equipment need to understand the hazards specific to their job. The right training helps employees recognize risks, follow safe work practices, and know when a task requires additional precautions.
A strong electrical safety program prepares everyone who could be exposed, not just the electrical team.

Good engineering recommendations should be practical enough to implement in the real world.
The best solutions are the ones organizations can realistically maintain while improving both safety and operational reliability over time.
Complexity alone does not create better outcomes.

One of the most dangerous habits in electrical work is assuming familiarity equals safety.
Workers around the same equipment every day can gradually normalize hazards that should still demand full attention and procedure compliance.
Routine should never replace awareness.

Most people think an arc flash is a moment.
The reality? It can turn into months of recovery, hospital stays, loss of independence, and a psychological toll that lingers long after the burns heal. We’ve heard firsthand what that experience looks like, and it’s something no worker should ever have to endure.
What makes this harder to accept is that arc flash severity isn’t a mystery anymore. We can model it, predict it, and engineer it down. Proper studies, accurate data collection, and protection settings that actually coordinate can mean the difference between a close call and a life-altering event.
When we still see facilities operating with outdated studies, mislabeled equipment, or no analysis at all, it’s not just a compliance gap, it’s exposure to a completely preventable future.
If the tools exist, the responsibility does too.
