OSHA’s current NFPA 70E and Electrical Safe Work Practices presentation
states that the cost of arc flash burn injuries to the employer is now between 1 and 3
million dollars per incident, with a few exceeding 6 million dollars.

This is from this white paper.
I have seen other documents that state the cost can easily exceed ten million dollars for a single incident.
