FR Flame Resistant Workwear – Protect Yourself with Trusted Gear from The Man Store Online

When the job exposes you to extreme heat, sparks, or potential fire hazards, flame resistant (FR) workwear is your first line of defense. At The Man Store Online, we specialize in providing high-quality fire-resistant apparel that meets the demands of dangerous work environments—because your safety is our priority.


What Is Flame Resistant Clothing?

Flame resistant clothing, sometimes referred to as FR clothing or fire-retardant workwear, is engineered to resist ignition and prevent the spread of flames. This specialized gear is designed for professionals working in high-risk fields where exposure to heat, fire, or electrical arcs is a daily reality.

Industries that rely on FR apparel include:

  • Firefighting and emergency response
  • Oil and gas extraction
  • Welding and metalworking
  • Electrical and utility work
  • Chemical and industrial manufacturing

The Man Store Online carries a wide selection of FR workwear, including shirts, pants, coveralls, jackets, and base layers that comply with industry safety standards and help protect workers in hazardous conditions.


How Flame Resistant Workwear Works

Flame resistant clothing is built from specially treated or inherently flame-resistant fabrics. These materials are designed to:

  • Self-extinguish when exposed to flames
  • Resist melting and dripping
  • Minimize burn injury by reducing heat transfer to the skin
  • Maintain comfort even under high-stress conditions

Most FR gear includes multiple protective layers—a flame-resistant outer shell, an insulating middle layer, and a breathable base layer. Some garments also feature reflective materials to increase visibility in low-light or emergency situations.


Who Needs FR Clothing?

Flame resistant apparel is vital for workers in environments where flammable gases, electric arcs, molten metals, or open flames are present. Common professionals who depend on FR gear include:

  • Firefighters, who need full-body flame protection during emergency response.
  • Oil and gas workers, who face high fire and explosion risks on rigs and refineries.
  • Electricians, exposed to arc flashes and electrical burns.
  • Welders, who work with sparks, molten metal, and extreme heat daily.

Wearing FR workwear is not just a best practice—it’s often a regulatory requirement. Organizations like OSHA and NFPA outline strict guidelines for the use of flame-resistant clothing in high-risk industries. Compliance protects both employers and employees from serious injuries and legal consequences.

The standard for electrical safety in the workplace (NFPA 70e) has developed a matrix of Hazard/Risk Categories (HRC) to help match the tasks being performed on energized electrical equipment to the appropriate flame resistant protective clothing. While garments with a higher arc rating can be used; a garment’s specific minimum for arc ratings required by Hazard/Risk Categories should be followed.
See HRC Arc Ratings below.
Hazardous Risk Categories

The garments in:

  • HRC 1 have Arc Ratings between 4 cal/cm2 and 7.9 cal/cm2.
  • HRC 2 have Arc Ratings between 8 cal/cm2 and 24 cal/cm2.
  • HRC 3 have Arc Ratings between 25 cal/cm2 and 39 cal/cm2.
  • HRC 4 have Arc Ratings 40cal/ cm2 and above.
