About
Arc Flash Vests
Because these vests are designed to be lightweight, they’re ideal for wearing over the top of something like an arc flash jumper or long-sleeved T-shirt when you feel the need for an additional layer but don’t want the bulk of a full jacket.
You can also wear a hi-vis arc flash vest over dark-coloured arc flash clothing to ensure you’re fully visible when working in low light conditions. A regular hi-vis vest isn’t safe for working on high-voltage equipment - even if your other clothing is arc flash-rated - as the vest’s fabric would melt in the event of a plasma blast.
The other bonus of arc flash vests is that many styles contain various pockets for keeping essential tools and mobile phones close at hand. We offer models with flame-retardant, anti-static, and chemical-resistant properties to suit a range of industries and roles.
