Let’s explore what FR hi-vis clothing is (and what it is not), as well as applications of when employees might need both flame protection and enhanced visibility.
In your life outside work, you might be as visible or as low-key as you want. But on a construction site, where struck-by accidents are a constant concern, there’s only one way to operate safely: as visibly as possible.
W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc., has introduced high-visibility orange and high-visibility yellow options to its new line of GORE® FR Apparel products – performance FR outerwear garments that offer an ideal balance of protection, comfort, and durability for oil & gas workers in physically demanding and extreme environmental conditions.
GlenGuard® Style 1400 and 1500 are lightweight Hi-Vis mesh fabrics that are both ANSI compliant and arc-rated. Style 1500 incorporates an anti-static yarn in its construction. Both offer GlenGuard's patented no melt, no drip protection in the event the worker is in an Arc-Flash or Flash-fire incident.
