Flame-Resistant Clothing

Treated vs. Inherent FR Fabrics

FR clothing comes in two types:

Treated FR Fabric: Regular fabrics treated with flame-resistant chemicals. Affordable and effective but can lose protection over time, especially with frequent washing or chemical exposure.
Inherent FR Fabric: Built-in flame resistance at the fiber level—like Nomex or Modacrylic—which never washes out. These offer long-term durability and consistent protection.

Who Wears FR Clothing?

From oil & gas crews to welders and electricians, FR clothing is essential in industries with constant exposure to sparks, flames, or molten metals. It’s a vital line of defense in high-risk environments.

How to Care for FR Clothing

To maintain protection:

Avoid bleach and harsh detergents
Tumble dry on low heat
Wash inside out to preserve reflective strips and finishes
Follow manufacturer care labels to ensure safety performance lasts

Key FR Safety Standards

EN ISO 11612:2015: Protection against heat, flames, and molten splashes
EN ISO 14116:2015: Flame resistance for low-risk environments
EN ISO 11611:2015: Protection for welding and metalwork, including sparks and spatter

Some garments are also Multinorm, combining flame resistance with high visibility (EN 20471), weatherproofing (EN 343), and anti-static protection (EN 1149-5).

Fall Arrest Safety Harnesses, Lanyards & Equipment

When working at height, safety is not optional—it's critical. That’s why our Technical Safety Fall Arrest Equipment is engineered to meet the highest UK safety standards and help prevent life-threatening accidents.

What is FR Clothing?

FR clothing—short for flame-resistant or flame-retardant clothing—is specially engineered to protect workers from heat, flames, and thermal hazards. Unlike regular workwear, FR garments won’t ignite or melt when exposed to open flame or high heat. Instead, they self-extinguish, reducing burn injuries and giving wearers crucial time to escape danger.

Your feet work hard—don’t let them down! Whether you're on a bustling construction site or the factory floor, wearing the right safety footwear is non-negotiable. It’s your first line of defence against falling tools, heavy machinery, sharp objects, and slippery surfaces.
