Shocking Electrical Hazards
Whenever utilities employees encounter electrical hazards greater than 2 kCals or above 600 volts, OSHA requires full body flame resistant (FR) protection. This includes:
- FR Shirts & Coveralls
- FR pants
- FR Boots, Gloves, & Face Protection
Furthermore, these garments cannot melt or ignite and burn when exposed to the heat energy released in a potential arc event.
