HomeNews and EventsBurns to Assist with Launching Arc Flash Safety Program for NJ Transit

Burns is excited to announce our participation in a comprehensive arc flash hazard analysis and electrical safety program that will support NJ Transit across over 200 facilities statewide.

The initiative spans a wide range of locations — including bus garages, rail shops, administrative buildings, major passenger terminals, and more than 150 heavy and light rail stations — all unified under a single, standardized safety framework. Five dedicated crews will deploy geographically, averaging two to three stations per day, minimizing operational disruption while maintaining momentum across the system.

The program includes:

  • Field data collection and single-line diagram development
  • Detailed arc flash short circuit and coordination studies
  • Utility coordination with four different electric utility companies
  • Engineering reports and mitigation recommendations
  • Hazard reduction implementation strategies
  • Equipment labeling and identification
  • Arc flash electrical safety training

This effort represents a major investment in safety, compliance, and long-term system reliability, reinforcing NJ TRANSIT’s commitment to protecting its workforce and critical infrastructure.
