🔥 What Is FR-Rated Headgear?
FR (flame-resistant) headwear is made from inherently flame-resistant fabrics or materials treated to resist ignition, reduce heat transfer, and self-extinguish when exposed to flame or arc energy. It is an essential part of any
arc flash PPE program and is required in combination with arc-rated suits, gloves, and face shields.
All headgear on this page meets
NFPA 70E,
NFPA 2112, and
ASTM F1506 standards.
