Description
Redwing Flashguard Coverall is a specialized piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to provide safety and protection for workers exposed to electrical hazards, particularly in environments with a risk of arc flash incidents. Arc flash incidents occur when an electrical fault causes an explosive release of energy, which can result in severe burns, fires, and even fatalities. The Redwing Flashguard Coverall is built to offer both thermal protection and comfort to workers in hazardous electrical environments.
Key Features of Redwing Flashguard Coverall
- Material Composition
Redwing Flashguard Coveralls are made from high-quality materials that are not only flame-resistant but also durable. The fabric used in the coveralls is carefully selected to withstand high temperatures without degrading. The FR cotton and blended fabrics are engineered to self-extinguish when exposed to flames, preventing the spread of fire and offering additional safety. - Arc Flash Protection
The primary function of the Redwing Flashguard Coverall is to protect against arc flash incidents. These coveralls are crafted using flame-resistant (FR) fabrics, ensuring that workers are shielded from the extreme heat and fire produced during an arc flash. The Flashguard coveralls are designed to meet or exceed industry safety standards, including NFPA 70E and IEC 61482, ensuring that they provide the required level of protection for workers in electrical settings.
Applications and Industries
Redwing Flashguard Coveralls are used across various industries where electrical hazards are present. Some of the primary applications include:
- Electrical and Utility Work
Workers involved in electrical maintenance, installation, and repair in power plants, electrical substations, and transmission lines can greatly benefit from the protective qualities of Flashguard coveralls. - Construction and Engineering
Electrical contractors, engineers, and construction workers who deal with wiring, electrical systems, and other components that pose an arc flash risk will find Flashguard coveralls an essential part of their PPE.
