Premium FR workwear was designed for workers in areas where there may be flame, heat or spark hazards. This is not just regular workwear that has a more robust name. This is protective clothing designed to reduce the risk of injury when working in an environment with thermal hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High-performance FR apparel should balance comfort, fit, durability and the correct workplace usage. Protective clothing is selected based on the job risk and not just by its appearance. PPE reduces exposure to workplace hazards.

FR is a term that means clothing designed to resist flames and heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clothing for this type may include coveralls and jackets. It can also include pants, shirts and layers of protection. It is not the goal to make a worker fireproof. When the clothing is selected to match the workplace requirements, hazard rating and garment, the goal is to offer a higher level of protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Premium FR workwear is important because regular clothing can be dangerous in environments with flame and arc hazards. Fabrics can melt, drip or burn for a long time, increasing the risk of injury. OSHA’s guidance for electric power workers explains that clothing should be carefully selected when flame or electric arc hazards exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protective clothing that is high-performance helps workers to stay safe while still being able to bend, reach and work. Workers may not be able to wear a protective garment that is too hot, stiff or poorly fitted for the entire shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct hazard matching is the first quality feature of FR clothing. Buyers should begin by assessing the risk of the job, and not just the name of the product. Sparks, welding, electrical arc risks, heat or combustibles dust may be present in different workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OSHA’s PPE guidelines state that employers must first assess their workplace to determine if hazards are present, or are likely to be present, before choosing PPE. This means that FR clothing must be selected based on a thorough safety assessment and not just by price, style, or color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The label, product details and technical sheet should mention the fabric type, care instructions, protection rating and intended use. Labels, product details and technical sheets should include fabric type, care instructions and protection rating. Safety clothing cannot be described in vague terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OSHA says that for electric arc hazards exposed employees need protective clothing and gear with an arc rating equal or greater than the estimated heat exposure. Buyers should always check the garment’s rating, and not assume that every FR item will protect against all hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Premium FR workwear should be made from fabrics that provide protection, comfort and long-lasting service. Some FR materials are flame-resistant by nature, as the protection is built right into the fabric. Some fabrics are treated with a chemical finish to make them flame-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The protection level of both fabrics can be used to determine which is best. The choice of fabric depends on many factors, including the type of work, the washing method, comfort requirements, budget and wear-life. Fabrics should be strong, but not stiff enough to restrict movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When workers require one-piece coverage, FR coveralls can be useful. These coveralls can reduce the gap between the shirt, pants and boots, which is useful in industrial work where there may be sparks, heat or flash exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flame resistant coveralls<\/a> can be found in many industrial settings, including oil and gas, utility work, welding support, maintenance and heavy-duty environments. Coveralls should be able to cover the entire body while allowing workers freedom of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are used as an outer layer of protection for workers who need it. These jackets are commonly used in industrial settings, such as outdoor work, cold jobsites, maintenance areas and other environments that require protective layering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A jacket that is flame-resistant must have a strong fabric, a secure closure, adequate sleeve cover, durable cuffs and sizing that allows for movement. The jacket shouldn’t rise excessively when the worker bends or reaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When workers require separate clothing instead of coveralls, FR pants are a good option. These pants should be durable for repeated washing, kneeling, walking and climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flame resistant pants<\/a> must fit properly at the waist, seat and knees. Pants too loose can catch on equipment while pants too tight can restrict movement and cause discomfort during long shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They are commonly used because they can be worn with FR jackets, pants or other protective layers. These shirts are ideal for teams who need to wear flame-resistant clothing on a daily basis without wearing a full suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is Premium FR Workwear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
