Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a standard FR work shirt and a western FR shirt?
A: The primary difference lies in the closure system and cut. Western FR shirts typically feature pearl snap closures, which allow for quicker removal in emergency situations—a feature often preferred in oil and gas drilling. Standard FR work shirts usually have traditional button closures and a straighter hem, making them popular for management, utility, and general industrial roles.
Q: How do I choose the right fabric weight for my FR shirt?
A: Fabric weight should be chosen based on your working environment. For hot, humid conditions, look for lightweight options around 4.5 oz to 6 oz, often made with moisture-wicking blends. For cooler climates or jobs requiring higher abrasion resistance (like welding), heavier weights like 7 oz to 10 oz denim or canvas are recommended. Always ensure the ATPV rating meets your site's safety requirements regardless of weight.
Q: Are all work shirts in this category NFPA 2112 and NFPA 70E compliant?
A: Most FR work shirts in this collection are dual-certified to meet both NFPA 2112 (flash fire) and NFPA 70E (arc flash) standards. However, ratings vary by brand and fabric. Always verify the specific safety labels on the product page or the garment itself to ensure it meets the Hazard Risk Category (HRC/CAT) required for your specific job.
Q: How should I wash my FR work shirts to maintain compliance?
A: To maintain the flame-resistant properties of your work shirts, wash them in warm water with mild detergent. Never use chlorine bleach, fabric softeners, or starch, as these can coat the fibers and compromise the FR performance or become fuel in the event of a fire. Tumble dry on low or hang dry to prevent excessive shrinkage.
Q: Can I add my company logo to these FR shirts?
A: Yes, but it must be done correctly to maintain safety compliance. Embroidery on FR clothing must use flame-resistant thread and backing materials. Using standard polyester or nylon thread can create a melt hazard during an arc flash or fire. We recommend using a service experienced in FR alterations.
