As you may know, Emergent Safety recently started our very own line of FR gear, known as Emergent Safety FR.

We were driven to start this private label brand based on the conversations we were having with customers.  Either they were running through their FR allowance before the end of the renewal period, they found the current options uncomfortable, or they were constantly being told necessary items were out of stock.  We took all of this into account when creating Emergent Safety FR.

Our line of flame resistant clothing is made to be comfortable, more affordable, and in-stock!  Most items can be shipped out the very same day you order them!

We know that choosing FR gear can be a daunting task, but it is important to do your research and choose the right gear for your specific needs. Here are some factors to consider when choosing FR gear:

• The type of hazard: The first step is to assess the risks present in your workplace. This will help you determine the type of FR gear you need. For example, if you work in an area with electrical hazards, you will need FR gear with an arc rating.
• The level of protection: FR gear is rated according to its level of protection. The higher the rating, the more protection the gear offers. For example, FR gear with an arc rating of 25 will provide more protection than FR gear with an arc rating of 8.
• The comfort: FR gear should be comfortable to wear. You will be wearing it for long periods of time, so it is important to choose gear that is not too hot or too bulky.
• The durability: FR gear should be durable. It will be exposed to a lot of wear and tear, so you need to choose gear that will last.
• The cost: FR gear can be expensive. However, it is important to remember that the cost of FR gear is outweighed by the cost of injuries.
