FAQs

1. What is flame resistant (FR) rainwear?

FR rainwear is a specialized type of protective clothing designed to protect the wearer from both rain and fire hazards. It is made from materials that are inherently flame resistant, meaning they will self-extinguish and not melt or drip when exposed to flames or intense heat. This helps to prevent burns and protects the wearer from serious injury in hazardous work environments.

2. Why is FR rainwear important?

FR rainwear is crucial for workers in industries where they may be exposed to both flammable materials and wet conditions, such as oil and gas, electrical utilities, and firefighting. It provides a critical layer of protection against potential hazards like flash fires, electric arcs, and combustible dust explosions, ensuring worker safety in unpredictable conditions.

3. How do I choose the right FR rainwear?

Choosing the right FR rainwear involves considering the specific hazards of your workplace, the required level of protection, and comfort factors. Assess the risk of flames, electric arcs, and chemicals, and refer to safety standards like NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E for guidance. Ensure the rainwear is appropriate for the weather conditions and allows for ease of movement while performing tasks.

4. How do I care for my FR rainwear?

Proper care is essential to maintain the flame-resistant properties of your rainwear. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for laundering and care. Generally, FR rainwear should be washed separately from regular clothing using mild detergent and dried on a low setting. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the flame-resistant fibres and compromise the garment's protective qualities.

5. How often should FR rainwear be replaced?

The lifespan of FR rainwear depends on the frequency of use and the severity of the conditions it's exposed to. Regularly inspect your rainwear for any signs of damage, such as tears, holes, or discoloration. If any damage is found, or if the garment has been involved in a fire incident, it should be replaced immediately. In general, FR rainwear should be replaced at least every three years, or more frequently if it shows signs of wear and tear.
