Industries That Require FR Clothing
Women in these industries must meet FR compliance due to high exposure to thermal hazards:
· Electrical Utilities
· Oil & Gas
· Manufacturing
· Chemical Plants
· Construction
· Firefighting
Why FR Clothing Is Important
Flame-resistant (FR) clothing is designed to self-extinguish, protecting the wearer from severe burns caused by flash fire, arc flash, or molten metal splash. It doesn’t melt or drip onto skin like synthetic fabrics and provides critical time to escape dangerous situations, reducing injury severity. FR gear is especially vital in high-risk industries where exposure to heat and flames is routine.
OSHA FR Clothing Guidelines
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to ensure workers exposed to electrical or fire hazards wear FR clothing as part of their PPE program under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart I – Personal Protective Equipment. Compliance helps prevent life-threatening injuries and supports a safer work environment.
