A recent study of 400 environmental, health and safety professionals, conducted by Mount Vernon FR in conjunction with the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), found that one of the greatest challenges professionals experience is the need for more durable flame resistant clothing to help their companies better manage program costs and to ensure worker safety.
Fabric and garment durability can have very different meanings and are evaluated by a range of methods. Increasing your knowledge of these topics will help you in the selection of durable protective garments. It’s important that environmental, health and safety professionals invest in flame resistant clothing programs that consider durability to better protect their employees, take full advantage of the lifetime of a flame resistant garment and reduce replacement costs.
