Did you know that employers follow three main industry standards to help protect workers from electric arc flashes and flash fires?  Today we'll focus on standards 2 and 3, applicable to the Oil & Petrochemical Industries and Electric Utilities:

2) NFPA 2112 For Oil & Petrochemical Industries:
 
--Mandates that employers conduct a flash-fire hazard assessment to determine the risk of a flash fire.
--Requires employees to wear flame-resistant clothing if the potential for a flash fire exists.

3) NESC For Electric Utilities:

--Specifies that employers conduct a hazard risk assessment to determine the potential arc exposure for employees who work on or near energized parts or equipment.

--Requires employees to wear flame-resistant clothing with an APTV, or cal rating, equal to or greater than the determined arc hazard.

CARHARTT Flame Resistant clothing ensures that employers are in compliance with these important safety regulations!
