FR garments typically reduces burn injuries significantly, thus increasing a victims' chances of survival when caught in a flash fire or electric arc accident.

 

 

Generally, there are many performance standards and tests that exist to evaluate the performance of FR garments in times of crisis. Other than enabling objective evaluation of the protective equipment, their purpose also include defining of the minimum criteria in performance of equipment.

 

 

This is primarily due to their fire-retardant properties. Try comparing the price of FR garment/s and the possible medical costs incurred from a flash fire incident involving one (or more) victim clothed in ordinary work gear during time of incident.

 

 

The fire-retardant properties are typically inherent in Flemings Safety' protective garments, which means that our garments' FR properties do not wear off. Thus performance of our garments will not decline over time.

 

 

FR garments can be repaired if it is minor tears and replacement of parts like buttons and zippers. We do not encourage any attempt to repair FR clothings with major tears or clothings which are beyond serviceability. Regional Flemings repair our FR clothings with materials and components that holds the same fire retardant properties as our fabrics such as threads and zip clothes etc.

 

 

The service life of an FR garment generally varies, due several factors. This includes the type of fabric used and how the garment is constructed. Garment should be replaced when repairs is deemed to be excessive or when it is unacceptable aesthetically.
