Procurement
ArcFlashWear is not an Online Store. Rather, we are a consultative supply chain partner who assists with identifying hazards, assessing risks and providing solutions to eliminate or minimise those risks.
ARCFLASHWEAR PROCUREMENT
ArcFlashWear differentiates from the general workwear market by being hazard specific and offering only specialised solutions. Our targeted focus allows us to understand relevant niches and offer industry specific solutions.
Choosing and implementing a personal protection program is a serious, expensive and often lengthy decision. It takes time and effort to differentiate between the many choices in the market.
CONSULTATION
We consult with inquiring parties to identify the exactness of the hazard and the risk environment in which personnel work, to ensure the proposed solutions address the situation and provide the best possible protection.
Understanding the guidelines, specifications and consistency of industry Standards, inspecting the proposed fabric and/or garments or purchasing single or multiple wear test items help reduce choice complexity.
OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESS
- Determine exactness of hazard/risk, appropriate FR/AR match and design/modifications.
- Inspection of garment(s) and/or purchase of wear test items.
- Quotation.
- Final procurement.
- Payment type - bank transfer only (BIC / Swift Code NATAAU3303M).
SELECTING FR/AR SOLUTIONS
Selecting the 'perfect' FR/AR fabric is a complex process. These fabrics have particular properties, which either provide benefits or shortcomings. Fabric manufacturers blend fibres in an attempt to balance these individual properties to maximise fabric performance. Blending creates fabrics that have a combination of properties that would be difficult to achieve using inherent or treated fibres alone.
Demanding environments demand high-performance multi-hazard protection
When deciding FR and AR fabric solutions, end users should consider their PPE program in light of:
- Does the fabric meet the hazard requirements.
- How does the fabric perform in laboratory evaluation and does it comply with listed standards.
- How does the fabric perform in the real world over time.
- Does the fabric demonstrate performance longevity characteristics important to the end user.
- Will employees want to wear it.
