What level of FR clothing protection is typically needed?
A Flame Resistant garment is usually chosen based on an employer’s own hazard analysis, which determines the right clothes for the potential incident energy exposures in a given work environment. Taking into account NFPA standard 70E, roughly 90% of all electrical trade workers generally fall into Category 1 and 2, meaning they require FRC with an ATPV rating of 8 or higher.
