How does a fire resistant (FR) jacket work?

We understand the importance of fire-resistant clothing in protecting workers in high-risk industries. That's why we utilize materials like Nomex, Kevlar, and Modacrylic in our FR garments, known for their exceptional flame-resistant properties. Additionally, we also utilize cotton fabrics that have been treated with specialized chemicals to enhance their heat resistance and protective qualities.

In compliance with industry regulations, the outermost layer of clothing must always be FR. This means that when the weather turns cold and wet, it's time to layer up with our flame-resistant outerwear. Our own brand ensures that all of our jackets and coats meet the necessary industry requirements to keep you safe on the job.

However, it's important to note that different flame-resistant materials offer varying benefits. What may protect an individual in one setting may not be suitable for another. That's why we always advise professionals and employers to carefully assess which products are best for their specific workplace.

Things to look out for when buying fire resistant jackets

When you shop with us, you can trust that our FR clothing has been tested to the highest standards and offers guaranteed FR protection for the life of the garment. Our FR cotton, ultrasoft, and blended arc-rated winter workwear are ready to battle the energy, utility, and electrical sectors under any harsh weather conditions.

We also offer hi-vis jackets and workwear jackets for added visibility and safety on the job. If you're unsure about the FR requirements for jackets and other clothing in your workplace, please check with your safety officer.

Risk of Heat-related Injuries

Workers are often required to handle a wide range of materials and equipment that can generate high temperatures. Welding, soldering, and operating machinery are just a few examples of tasks that pose a risk of heat-related injuries to the hands. These types of injuries can be severe and can result in lost time, medical expenses, and even permanent disability.
