What is the proper way to wear FRC

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a global non-profit organization with more than 50000 members and over 9000 volunteers. They promote fire safety among people who are at high risk injuries. They offer several Standards for prevention of fire and protection from fire. The NFPA Standard 213 provides guidance on how to select, use, care for, and maintain flame resistant clothing (FRC). For someone who needs to wear FRC at the place of work, though, this Standard does not throw any light on the right way of wearing FRC, and that is what this blog would be talking about

The size of your FRC is more important than you might imagine. Any clothes that are too tight or too loose would of course be uncomfortable to the wearer. But when it comes to FRC, the right fit, or lack of it, could also impact how effective the clothing is in protecting you from fire. The size of your FRC should be enough to leave a thin layer of air between your FRC and the undergarments beneath them.

Talking of undergarments, they are as important for your safety as the choice of FRC. The undergarments you choose must ideally be made of natural fiber. This would ensure they won’t melt. Please avoid the usual athletic undergarments that are popular nowadays, because the synthetic material they are made of would melt in fire and scald your skin.

Coming back to the size of your FRC, too loose a fit is not advisable at all. The reason for this is not so much the risk from fire, but that the loose hanging clothes might get caught up in machinery

Finally, it is important to replace your FRC with a fresh set as soon as they get soiled, especially with oils or greases or other flammable materials.log in to log in to https://www.tarasafe.com/ and be guaranteed of safety, style, and comfort!
