Flame Resistant Shirts at Budget Work Wear

Flame Resistant (FR) clothing, as the name denotes, is personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to keep the wearer safe from fire hazards. PPE acts as a barrier between the body of the tradie and the hazard, providing him with a certain degree of protection.

FR garments will use fabrics that are resistant to fire. The fire resistant quality may either be inherent or through chemical treatment. The purpose of FR clothing is to reduce the risks of a fire hazard. It is necessary that tradies working in workplaces that have a higher risk of catching fire wear FR clothing so as to stay protected. But what will happen when non-FR clothing is used?

Non-FR clothing, at times of fire hazards, will continue to keep burning and cause more injury or damage to the health of the wearer. In workplaces that make use of electrical equipment or any other material/equipment that poses a risk of fire hazards, non-FR clothing is not the best workwear to be worn. The severity of damage caused by these garments will be too much, and in order to lessen it, FR clothing is used. Being designed to protect the tradies and keep them safe, FR clothing would have some excellent and protective features like resisting burning or ignition, self-extinguishing properties, ability to self extinguish when the source of fire is removed, not melting on the skin or breaking open, exposing the skin, and such.

Another feature that FR clothing should possess is that it should never compromise on durability, quality or functionality as it is the one thing that stays between the hazard and health of the tradie. To ensure the quality of FR clothing and the protection it provides, they should comply with AS/NZS 2801:2008 standards.

With the need for quality FR products on the rise and increasing in demand, many Australian brands have come out with quality products that provided the best protection to the wearers.  Complying to all industry standards and by using quality flame retardant fabrics like Tencate Tecasafe, Bulwark iQ Series, Indura UltraSoft, Tecgen and so on has made these products popular all over Australasia.
