One of the greatest risks employees face in manufacturing and industrial environments, is operating under conditions where the potential for arc flash and flash fire injuries is high. In these environments, it is important that employees utilise the proper PPE to keep themselves safe in the workplace.

Flame resistant (FR) and arc rated (AR) workwear is an essential component of PPE for employees working in an environment where contact with heat, flame or arc flash is likely. Workers exposed to flammable liquids, open flame, extreme heat, high-energy electric components or combustible dusts are at high risk for serious and sometimes fatal injuries due to arc flash and flash fire. 

FOR DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS, THE CHALLENGE IS TO MAKE THEM LESS DANGEROUS.


For example, motorsport race suits are a complicated challenge. Their main responsibility is to offer protection against fire but at the same time, drivers need suits that are lightweight and able to breathe. This isn't purely a matter of comfort. Drivers spend a lot of time in their overalls, often in a very hot cockpit or hot ambient conditions: they are at severe risk of fatigue and dehydration, which brings with it a decrease in mental ability, dangerous for making split-second decisions.

 

Our tested and proven portfolio of high-performance solutions have the strength to withstand the challenges of critical workplace situations. Our innovative fabric technologies are constructed from fibres with inherent FR/AR properties and chemical structures that do not support combustion.

 

 

OUR WORLD IS UNCERTAIN - DANGERS EVOLVE - SAFETY EXPECTATIONS INCREASE.

FR AND AR SAFETY BEGINS AT THE FIBRE LEVEL.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS


FR/AR solutions are designed to meet or exceed international 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. Industry standards are responsible for maintaining uniformity in all areas across the globe.

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. 

HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS


Dangerous substances such as industrial chemicals, molten metal, steam and hot water 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. 

MAKING THE WORKPLACE SAFE


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.
