The degree of injury is directly related to the power of the arc flash, the distance the person is at the time of the arc flash and the protective equipment worn by an individual during an arc flash. Due to the force from the explosion of energy and the intense heat, burns, concussions, collapsed lungs, hearing loss, shrapnel injuries, broken bones are the common injuries. Death can and does occur from these injuries.
