A comprehensive line of Arc Flash Safety Clothing!OHSA 29 CFR 1910.269 (1)6)(iii) requires employers to ensure that their employees clothing does not increase the extent of injuries sustained when exposed to flames or electric arcs. Clothing worn for a particular application must have a Energy Breakeven Threshold (EBT) or Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) higher than the potential hazard to prevent the onset of second degree burns. The NFPA 70E standard addresses electrical-safety work practices and procedures. The standard is applicable to employees working on or near exposed energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. Although not formally adopted by OSHA, NFPA 70E is often the defacto standard referenced in its citations. It requires employees to wear flame resistant (FR) clothing that meets the performance requirements of ASTM F1506 when exposure to electric arc flash is possible. Our flame resistant (FR) FR Shield protective clothing meets or exceeds ASTM F1506 performance requirements. Always perform a careful hazard assessment. Determine the minimum PPE cal/cm2 rating based on the severity of the arc hazard. >> Hazard/Risk Category Chart OEL uses flame resistant (FR) protective clothing fabrics which are guaranteed flame resistant for the life of the garment.The advanced Fabrics provide excellent protection from electric arc flash (for NFPA 70E, ASTM F1506 and OSHA1910.269 compliance), flash fire (for NFPA 2112 and CGSB 155.20 compliance), molten ferrous metal splash and welding exposures. The flame resistant properties of FR Shield fabrics come from the inherently FR fibers and cannot be washed out or worn away. Unlike FR-treated cotton fabrics, which have special chemicals added to the base fabric to achieve flame-resistance, the inherent flame-resistance found in FR Shield fabrics will not diminish regardless of the laundry process.
