Flame Resistant Apparel:
Your employees that work where there is a hazard of clothing igniting should wear flame resistant clothing. In the unlikely event of a flash fire, electric arc, metal splash or other catastrophe, FR work clothing reduces burn injury, provides escape time, and increases chances of survival.
OSHA under 1910.132 “Occupational Safety and Health Standards: Personal Protective Equipment” and NFPA 70E require proper protective apparel for many employees. There are many options based on the specific work environment.
HI-VISIBILITY APPAREL:
Hi-visibility garments are required or the preferred garment in many work environments. When it’s important to be seen in any light, these specialty-fabric garments are a must.
