On-the-job accidents are an everyday reality. Someone makes a mistake, a piece of equipment breaks, or the unexpected happens. You can't anticipate when you'll need Fire-Resistant Clothing, that's why you need it every day. Fire-resistant (FR) Sweatshirts keep you warm and safe from sparks and flames. Most FR sweatshirts have soft fabric on the inside and a fire-resistant coating on the outside. This outer layer provides arc flash protection, called an arc rating, that reduces your risk of serious burns.
Workers who should consider wearing fire-resistant sweatshirts include electricians, linemen, welders, rail-road workers, and those who work at refineries, in the paper and pulp industries, and with chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Wear these sweatshirts when you're working--you want to be warm, and you might come into contact with sparks, fire, or electricity.
Flame-resistant sweatshirts come in all sorts of styles. They're pull-over, zip up, hooded and unhooded. WPS carries FR sweatshirts and shirts made by several manufacturers including National Safety Apparel, Bulwark, Carhartt, and Dickies.
