Our World Is Uncertain | Dangers Evolve | Safety Expectations Increase
First and Foremost, Safety Begins at the Fibre Level
Making the Workplace Safe: Requires Proactive and Collaborative Effort.
Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions, procedures, training and supervision to encourage workers to work safely and responsibly. Even when engineering controls and safe systems of work have been applied, hazards can still remain.
Hazards must be identified and assessed, robust control measures and emergency procedures implemented and regular inspections and reviews undertaken. Collaborative leadership commitment and employee engagement together foster a strong safety culture.

Meet Consensus Standards
FR and AR solutions are designed to meet or exceed consensus standards for the personal protection needs of workers, no matter where they work in the world. Consensus standards ensure products and services are safe, reliable and of good quality. Consensus standards are responsible for maintaining uniformity in all areas across the globe.
Select Inherent FR/AR Technologies
Arc flash and flash fire events are unpredictable and can be fatal. That's why workers who face on-the-job threats of electric arc and flash fire hazards rely on PPE solutions that do not ignite, melt or degrade in heat. Their properties are intrinsic, permanent and cannot be washed away or worn out.
Protect for Penetration and Permeation Exposure
Dangerous substances such as industrial chemicals, steam and hot liquids require the appropriate level of splash protection apparel to reduce hazardous substance exposure to the direct skin. Injuries sustained from these hazards are not only difficult to recover from, but they can also be deadly.
Protect for Hot Metal and Thermal Radiation
The dangers of hot metal and thermal radiation include severe burns from contact or metal splashes, heat stress and heatstroke from prolonged exposure, potential explosions from steam or chemical reactions with moisture and eye damage from infrared and ultraviolet radiation.
Protect for Extreme Heat
In extreme heat conditions, individuals face risks like dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, cognitive impairment and even passing out. The combination of physical exertion, high temperatures and FR protective clothing that may inhibit natural cooling can lead to severe physiological effects. For example, heatstroke worsens pre-existing chronic conditions, especially those affecting the heart, kidneys and lungs, by placing significant strain on the cardiovascular system.
