La industrial workwear It stands out from other types of workwear because it offers guaranteed protection against high-risk situations: Multi-purpose clothing has specific health and safety requirements at work, regulated according to current legislation.
Depending on the industry or sector, the worker must ensure that they have the most appropriate safety attire for their job.
What is fire-resistant clothing?
Flame-resistant clothing consists of all those types of garments that protect workers from contact with flames or heat sources.
What is antistatic clothing?
Antistatic clothing is clothing that prevents or reduces the accumulation of static electricity on a surface.
From the fusion of the above arises the flame-resistant and anti-static workwear. Also know as multi-standard clothingFire-resistant and antistatic protective clothing combines the characteristics of the two previous groups. It provides protection against heat and flame, electrostatic discharges, electric arcs, and, among other things, small splashes of molten metal.
Sectors where, due to the nature of the work, employees are continuously exposed to risks may include welders, petrochemical industry, electrical industry, foundries and pyrotechnics.
In these sectors, the use of flame-resistant and antistatic workwear is mandatory because workers are exposed to flames, heat, molten metal splashes, and electricity. Therefore, these garments become an essential element in prevention plans and are subject to specific regulations regarding requirements and quality standards.
Among the types of garments we can use are:
- Jackets and parkas: We can find work jackets in a single color or even those that also have high-visibility elements, as well as parkas that provide greater protection against the cold and offer waterproof protection.
- TrousersThe trouser designs attempt to combine the technical characteristics of this type of garment with the comfort required by any work trousers, such as multiple pockets and an adjustable waistband.
- Shirts: Although we usually think of outerwear when we talk about flame-resistant and antistatic clothing, it's also necessary to complete the uniform with items that allow you to remove your jacket or parka if needed while still maintaining a certain level of protection. Just like jackets or parkas, these shirts can also include high-visibility elements.
There are also fire-resistant accessories for workwear that meet the required standards, such as underwear, since sometimes ordinary underwear contains elements or materials in its manufacture that can be flammable or accumulate electrostatic charge.
In addition to complying with regulations, it is necessary that their design, use and maintenance are adequate to maintain the level of protection they offer.
