How to Choose the Best Flame Resistant Coveralls

When you are working at a job which requires you to be exposed to high heat, electric sparks or even flames of fire, then you need to have adequate protective clothing over and above your regular work clothes. While AR (arc resistant) overalls are suggested for workplaces where electric sparks can fly, for workplaces with fire hazards, FR clothing is needed. FR stands for flame resistant. For people exposed to both risks, AR clothing is suggested, since it affords protection against flames as well, although the converse is not always true. But if you are in a workplace where you are only exposed to flames, the Fire Resistant Coveralls are the best bet for you.

When you are looking to buy yourself FR coveralls, it is important that you first understand the difference between often interchangeably used terms – Flame Resistant and Flame Retardant. Apart from the meaning of the words resist (hold back) and retard (reduce), the other difference is that flame resistant clothing is inherently able to resist the effect of fire because of the material it is made from. Flame retardant clothing, on the other hand, is specially treated with certain chemicals externally. Although the effect of both types of clothing is similar, but it is better to be aware of the differences. Let us now look at a few more things to know while purchasing FR coveralls:

  • It’s true that the main purpose of FR coveralls is protection, but that doesn’t mean they should lack comfort, because the person might need to wear them for a complete shift of 8 hours or so.
  • Try going for coveralls which require less maintenance.
  • The cost is an important factor, of course, but not at the cost of safety and effectiveness.
  • If you are working in extremely cold conditions, then the regular FR coverall might not be enough, you must choose ones which have additional layers that would keep you warm.
