Safety Liability

Safety first is the motto with many companies these days. Many workers that I sell FR clothing to don’t agree with how touchy and technical their company is about the rules.

What many workers don’t realize is the liability issue. If a violation occurs that costs the company money and if an accident occurs and the worker is not in compliance…Look Out!!! heads will spin and a compensation claim will not get paid! Bottom line is this. If special clothing and footwear is required…suck it up and invest because if you don’t you  are taking a big risk.

Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing is some of the best around.

Gotta wear FR clothing? Don’t worry about finding quality and variety. Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing comes in several styles and colors and weights, lined and unlined, for any weather condition. Other companies offer more styles also. Bulwark is another top company to trust to keep you not only compliant, but comfortable too.

Flame-Resistant clothing is costly when compared to regular clothing so be sure to buy from a reputable source, with a guarantee and returns policy that suits your needs.

If you think it’s pretty now, wait until you have power lines going down. If you enjoy the scenery of winter, like myself, you need warm clothing to  enjoy the snow. Have you ever thought about the guys who have some of the hardest jobs during winter? Probably not. They are the power companies linemen. Their work is dangerous on a good day.. then add ice and snow and you have a stressful job. These workers are required to wear FRC’s… Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing is some of the best on the market. Combining current technology with Carhartts trademark durability, a winning combination.

Physical laborers know and agree that insulated bib overalls or unlined bibs for that matter are a great choice for ease of motion and comfort.

You can’t pick a bad pair… but it is important to demand the right fit and to pick the right options for what you need from your overalls. Lined or unlined, correct waist and inseam for layering and shrinkage during laundering… and if you have no idea of how to choose them… find a good salesperson and make them earn their paycheck!!

Flame -resistant clothing is not an option with many occupations these days but with this requirement you do have options. Not all FR clothing is the same, when it comes to features such as pockets and special features. Also the weight of the fabric can change the feel and fit tremendously.

Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing covers all the bases of fit, fashion and Safety. Check out the line if you are required to wear safety clothing.

NFPA 70E, NFPA2112, ASTM, NESC, and OSHA… do any of these sound or look familiar? It all has to do with safety standards for workers in a multitude of occupations.
