    Flame-Resistant (FR) Garments: Do not use for protection against continuous thermal loads, hot liquids or steam. Do not wear alone for limb/torso protection during structural firefighting. Do not use for chemical protection. Failure to comply with this warning may result in serious injury or death.

  • Marking Recommendations and Restrictions

PREPARATION FOR USE

  • Sizing / Adjustment

    For sizing information click here to refer to MCR Safety's sizing charts.

  • Recommended Storage Practices

    Do not store protective clothing in direct light. The strength of flame resistant fabrics can be degraded by exposure to light or fluorescent light and must be protected, either by storing in a shaded area or by covering with a dark material.


INSPECTION FREQUENCY & RETIREMENT CRITERIA

We recommend that each company establish its own criteria for regular, routine inspection and subsequent repair or retirement of protective clothing. Visual inspection for worn areas, mechanical damage, improper alterations, improper fit, or contamination with flammable substances may be cause for removal from service, as determined by the end user.


USE/DONNING/DOFFING AND STORAGE

For effective protection, flame-resistant garments should be worn as the outer garment with sleeves down and secured, shirts tucked into pants, and front closure fully secured.  Wear a correctly fitting garment based on your body dimensions.  Ensure that garment sleeves are fully extended and all closures are secure.  If contaminated, carefully remove garment and avoid touching soiled areas.  When removing the garment, fully extend all adjustments (if provided) and unfasten all closures (zippers, buttons snaps, etc).  Store garment dry, in a clean environment, and out of direct sunlight.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

  • Cleaning instructions and precautions

    Flammable contaminants adding during washing or drying will reduce the thermal protection properties of any flame-resistant garment. Properly caring for your FR clothing can help it continue to perform optimally and last longer.

    To ensure you know how to correctly wear, wash and maintain your garments, it is important to carefully follow instructions provided on the manufacturer’s care label. However, there are some basic care requirements that are applicable to all FR workwear:

    • Wash garments prior to wearing and after each subsequent wearing
    • Wash separately from standard clothing
    • Avoid using chlorine bleach
    • Thoroughly remove any oils and flammable contaminants from clothing
  • Maintenance criteria and methods of repair where applicable

    Ensure clothing is clean and in good repair before each wearing. Repair clothing using only FR fabric, thread and components. Return garments to manufacturer for repair or use an authorized repair facility.


RETIREMENT AND DISPOSAL

If the garment cannot be properly repaired or contaminants cannot be removed, the garment should be retired. The garment should be removed from service and retired after exposure to flame and heat.
