If your job or to-do list includes work around flying sparks or open flame, give yourself more assurance to your personal safety with flame-resistant clothing.
To that end, Drysdales is offering several styles of fire-resistant jeans and shirts from the Wrangler FR and its Riggs Workwear FR lines.
Wrangler spells out how seriously it takes in designing its flame-resistant garments:
Recent government reports have noted that the #1 cause of severe and fatal burn injuries on the job is an individual’s clothing igniting and continuing to burn – not the source of ignition itself. The use of flame resistant clothing provides the necessary thermal protection at the area of exposure. The level of protection resides in the weight and composition of the flame resistant fabric. Once the source of ignition is removed, FR garments will self-extinguish, allowing precious escape time and limiting the percentage of the body that is burned. Even though a person caught in a flash fire or arc flash will most likely still have injuries, FR clothing can greatly reduce their severity. And in many cases, it can make the difference between life and death.
These garments also meet fire and electrical-safety requirements of the National Fire Protection Agency, American Society of Testing and Materials, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). So Wrangler and Riggs aren’t giving you just lip service on the safety of their flame-resistant clothes.
