Product Spotlight:  Bulwark Flame-Resistant PrepareWear.

From the Bulwark 2012 catalog:  "There is a lot of misinformation on the market. Many items are labeled "FR" that actually only meet general wearing apparel standards or standards that are only applicable to upholstery or curtains.  Specifiers and end users must determine the appropriate PPE based on their hazard analysis and the standards and specifications applicable in their industry. PPE chosen must meet the requirements of the appropriate standards and specifications."

What standards are used for workers exposed to Flash Fire Hazards?

"The NFPA 2112 Standard on Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire and its companion standard, NFPA 2113 on Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of these garments specify design, performance, certification requirements, and test methods for flame-resistant garments for use in areas at risk from flash fires. Third-party certification is also required. Other performance requirements may apply to specific garments and will be so indicated on the garment label."

We offer the full range of Bulwark FR PrepareWear, including shirts, pants, coveralls, outerwear, high visibility rainwear, and accessories!!
