ARAMARK. Your Partner for Flame Resistant Apparel
and Arc Flash PPE
Every day, millions of workers put their lives on the line due to the risk of flash fire, electrical arc flash and molten metal splash injuries. In an instant, flames or intense heat can engulf your employees, putting them in grave danger. Often, their only safeguard from serious injury, or even death, can be their protective apparel. For more than a decade, ARAMARK Uniform Services has been a trusted supplier of flame resistant (FR) clothing to thousands of companies throughout various industries, including electrical contracting, petroleum refining, electric utilities, chemical manufacturing, welding, aluminum manufacturing, and steel foundry.
Flame Resistant Clothing is Vital to the Way You Work
In a matter of seconds, a momentary electric arc, flash fire or molten metal splash exposure can surround a worker with searing temperatures that will ignite everyday non-flame resistant work clothes instantaneously. Worse yet, non-flame resistant work clothes continue to burn even after the source of ignition has subsided. In fact, the majority of severe and fatal burn injuries are due to the ignition of non-flame resistant work clothes—not by the actual exposure to the heat source itself.
Using flame resistant clothing can provide the necessary thermal protection to shield workers at the moment of exposure. Once the source of ignition is removed, flame resistant garments will self-extinguish, greatly limiting the severity of a burn. In many cases, they can mean the difference between a minor accident and a tragic fatality.
