The Essentials of Arc Flash PPE Maintenance
Arc flash Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and their Arc Thermal Protective Value (ATPV) is essential in many workplaces to keep workers safe from arc blast related injuries such as eye damage and burns. However, putting on the right PPE for the job alone does not guarantee safety. The PPE itself must be properly maintained in order for it to function correctly and keep the wearer safe. Fortunately, arc flash PPE maintenance can be very easy if you keep these simple tips in mind.
Caring for your FR workwear starts with keeping track of how old it is. It is recommended that you have five sets of arc flash clothing, washing and wearing each set only once per work week. When you follow this guideline, 100 percent cotton garments last 12 to 16 months, 88/12 cotton/nylon blends last 18 to 30 months and 93 percent Nomex blends last 2 1/2 to 4 years. Continue Reading…
