In today’s Industrial community, exposure to an Arc Flash or Flash Fire through direct or indirect means can result in a garment fire and significant injury. The only way to protect employees from their industrial clothing catching fire during a thermal event is to make sure that the clothing is Flame Resistant. When choosing Flame Resistant clothing it is essential that the fabric that garment is to be made from has a track record of proven performance in the conditions required to protect your employees. In Addition to protecting your employees by specifying ASTM 1506, NFPA 70E, NFPA 2112 and UL Certified garments and following the maintenance and care guidelines you will be protecting your company by following the recommendations outlined by the OSHA general duty clause.
Each Employer
(1)          shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees (Arc Flash and Flash Fire are recognized Hazards)
