The Essentials of Arc Flash PPE Maintenance

by WorkingPerson.com on March 29, 2013 in FR Clothing with 0 Comments

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…

How To Care For Your Flame Resistant Clothes

by WorkingPerson.com on September 25, 2012 in FR Clothing with 0 Comments

Flame resistant clothes protect you. But how do you protect your flame resistant clothes? By caring for them properly. The garment’s flame resistant properties will last much longer if properly laundered and washed.

ASTM F1449-01 gives recommended procedures for laundering flame resistant cotton clothing. It’s important to realize that some laundering procedures can damage for FR clothes. Hard water and high temperatures that are used in industrial laundering and drying can cause minerals to build up on cotton FR fabrics and make them flammable. The harder the water, the more minerals are built up, the more flammable your flame resistant clothes become. But this can be prevented. Using soft water or an adequate sour can keep minerals from building up, and thus, keep your flame resistant clothes flame resistant. Continue Reading…
