Fire-Retardant Workwear

Fire-resistant clothing, or FR clothing as it is sometimes referred to, is a specialist clothing that is designed to reduce the likelihood of burns caused by processes using heat or where a byproduct can be heat or flames.

Some examples of tasks that require FR clothing are welding and grinding steel, where hot sparks or molten metal can pose a risk of penetrating and melting through clothing or setting it alight.

Fire-resistant clothing can be identified by its EN standard markings: EN ISO 11612, EN ISO 11611 (for welding specifically), EN ISO 14116, EN 61482-1-2 (although this is more for Arc Flash Clothing, which offers other protections as well), and EN 14116. These markings are clearly displayed on most brands to help you identify them quickly and easily.

As there is a risk that almost any part of your clothing could catch fire, it's important that you wear flame-resistant clothing across the body. This means that almost every clothing item is available with a fireproof rating, including FR T-shirts, FR Coats, FR sweaters, FR hats, and much more.

A selection of trousers, underwear, and even socks is available for the lower half of the body. This allows you to stay protected from head to toe.

It is important to layer your flame-resistant clothing for the most at-risk roles and tasks so that sub-layers do not combust or melt onto the skin. For this reason, we supply everything from underwear, base layers, shirts, trousers, and overalls, giving you as much protection as you require.
