English term or phrase: flash
I am translating a transcription of a video talking about security at work and the speaker said this:

We are going to spend money on lockout tagout. Our flash, all the different requirements, they've looked at us like are you serious that we're going to actually spend money on this stuff? You know, we never had to do that before. Why do we have to wear safety shoes?

Does anyone know what "flash" could mean here?

Thanks in advance.

llamado de emergencia


Explanation:
El contexto me hace pensar que se trata de un "llamado de emergencia". Adjunto link de un documento del consejo de seguridad de Naciones Unidas como ejemplo.

ráfaga de arco


Explanation:
Having seen that there are over 10,000 Google hits associating Arc Flash with Lock-out/ tag out, I have increased my level of confidence.

ráfaga de arco

Explanation:
Aclaro que no entiendo nada del tema, pero si el original es una desgrabación "Arc flash" suena como "our flash", y es algo contra lo cual se debe proteger.

Linterna / Solución


Explanation:
Linterna o algo parecido que emita luz dentro del contexto de la fábrica. Pareciera que es uno de los utensilios de seguridad que necesitan que les compren. Porque pareciera que el discurso es sobre defender su seguridad laboral.
Donde dice "Our flash AND all the different requeriments"

La otra opción es que se refiera a una ocurrencia/solución que tuvieron. Que en este caso sería el lockout tagout.

Espero que sea de ayuda !

Reference information:
Lockout–tagout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lock Out, Tag Out (LOTO), Lock Out, Tag Out, Try Out (LOTOTO) or lock and tag is a safety procedure used in industry and research settings to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or repair work. It requires that hazardous energy sources be "isolated and rendered inoperative" before work is started on the equipment in question. The isolated power sources are then locked and a tag is placed on the lock identifying the worker who placed it. The worker then holds the key for the lock, ensuring that only he or she can remove the lock and start the machine. This prevents accidental startup of a machine while it is in a hazardous state or while a worker is in direct contact with it.
