Could you do more for worker safety? Protective gear alone can't prevent arc flash injury. In fact, according to NFPA 70E, injuries sustained during an arc ?ash event would be reduced and survivable due to arc-rated PPE. Complying with the safe work practices required by NFPA 70E and implementing arc flash mitigation strategies through engineering controls will enhance workplace safety for employees and lower financial risk for your company. Read the white paper, "Mitigating Arc Flash Hazards", for more information.

The risk reporting environment for banks has changed. Regulatory imperatives that were largely driven by the financial crisis of 2007— such as Dodd-Frank, Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting (BCBS 239) by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) and others—are impacting banks around the globe. These imperatives are forcing banks to rethink and reinvent how their systems integrate and how data from across the bank flows into the aggregated risk and capital reports required by regulatory agencies. Banks must be able to convey to agencies that the data is complete, correct and consistent in order to establish that the reports are trustworthy
