Our PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) incorporates technologically advanced fabrics & materials to provide true Arc-Rated protection. In full compliance with all aspects of NFPA70E-00, ASTM F1506-2000 and OSHA 29CFR 1910.269 standards. Flashguard Hoods provide full head arc protection with permanent anti-fog coating for excellent visibility & arc protection. Coats and Bib-Overalls compliment the Hoods to provide a full system of protection.Personal protective equipment, or PPE is designed to protect employees from serious workplace injuries or illnesses resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Besides face shields, safety glasses, hard hats, and safety shoes, Personal protective equipment, or PPE includes a variety of devices and garments such as goggles, coveralls, gloves, vests, earplugs, and respirators.
In order to select the proper PPE, incident energy must be known at every point where workers may be required to perform work on energized equipment. These calculations need to be performed by a qualified person such as an electrical engineer. All parts of the body that may be exposed to the arc flash need to be covered by the appropriate type and quality of PPE. Proper PPE can include Flame Resistant clothing, helmet or headgear, face shield, safety glasses, gloves, shoes, etc. depending upon the magnitude of the arc energy.
