The Australian sector has always prioritised their worker’s health and wellbeing in the workplace. Arc flash safety has been a big topic in the energy sector but with the 2018 arc flash incident in Yallourn power station, organisations are putting more priority in safe maintenance practices and the maintenance of arc flash protection equipment.
marcus evans Arc Flash Electrical Safety 2020 aims to provide practical ways in improving arc flash safety, standard compliance, and effective arc flash mitigation strategies. Delegates will be able to gain critical insights on updates for 2018 edition of IEEE 1584 and NFPA 70E, guidelines to the safety standards and calculations, effective mitigation methods, safe asset maintenance practices new arc flash technologies, and arc flash prevention in renewable technology.
Don’t miss your chance to hear world-renowned Arc Flash expert, Jim Phillips, one of the primary developers of the IEEE standards, talk about how Australia can use the IEEE 1584 changes to strengthen in-house arc flash safety practices. Secure your place at our 5th Annual Arc Flash Electrical Safety now!

AN UPDATE ON MESC 2020
[19 June 2020]
For 30 years, Mine Electrical Safety Association Conference (MESC) attendees have told us that they receive incredible value from meeting face to face with colleagues and friends in the industry. They value the technical programme and equally value the chance to socialise and network, as well as learning about the new products and services offered by our sponsors and exhibitors.
We are aware of the economic impact being felt by our sponsors, exhibitors and attendees and their organisations and that many companies will not approve staff travel for the remainder of the year. Due to this, as well as the uncertainty as to when a conference of the size of MESC can be held (and what restrictions will still be in place), it is with regret that the MESA Committee announce the cancellation of the Mine Electrical Safety Conference in 2020.
2021 CONFERENCE DATES
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2021 conference which will be held from Monday 7 June to Wednesday 9 June 2021 – again at MES Conference Headquarters at Pullman & Mercure Brisbane King George Square.
Information on the 2021 conference will be released by November this year.
