They occur when electric current flows through tissues or bone, generating heat, and causing damage. Arc or Flash Burns Arc or flash burns result from high temperatures caused by an electric arc or explosion near the body. An example of an arc flash is a lightning bolt. The electrical current travels through air. This type of arc flash generates enough heat to melt metal. The same process can happen with any electrical device. Thermal Contact Burns Thermal contact burns are caused when the skin touches hot surfaces of overheated electric conductors, conduits, or other energized equipment. Thermal burns also can be caused when clothing catches on fire, as may occur when an electric arc is produced. OSHA -10: Avoiding Electrocution HazardsThe benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
