Flame Retardant PPE Shirts

Flame retardant shirts are a type of certified fire-retardant clothing designed to protect the wearer against thermal risks. These safety shirts are made from special fabrics that inhibit the spread of fire, offering an essential layer of protection in industrial environments or environments with a risk of fire. As flame retardant PPE, they are essential to guarantee the safety of professionals exposed to sparks, heat or sources of ignition, complying with strict occupational safety standards.

The use of flame retardant shirts as PPE is mandatory in a number of activities where there is a risk of exposure to fire or extreme heat. Sectors such as electricity, welding, petrochemicals, metallurgy, firefighting, construction and industrial maintenance often require the use of flame protective clothing. According to occupational safety legislation and standards, certified flame retardant work clothing must be worn whenever workers are in direct or indirect contact with thermal hazards.

Flame retardant shirts can be classified as permanent or treated. Permanent shirts are made with intrinsically flame retardant fibers, meaning the protection is built into the fabric from the source and is not lost through washing. Treated shirts receive a chemical flame retardant treatment, which is effective but can diminish over time or with inadequate washing. At RAG Tailors, we have both models available, all certified, so you can choose the best solution suited to your sector and operational needs.

Proper maintenance of flame retardant shirts is essential to ensure continued effectiveness of the protection. It is recommended to avoid bleach, softeners or aggressive products that may compromise the flame retardant properties. The garment should be washed at moderate temperatures, always following the manufacturer's label instructions. For treated garments, the number of washes may influence the durability of the PPE. RAG Tailors provides specific recommendations for each type of fabric, helping to preserve the safety and comfort of the user.

Flame retardant shirts for electricians are essential to protect against electric arcs and unexpected sparks when performing energized tasks. This type of flame retardant PPE significantly reduces the risk of serious burns and offers professionals peace of mind in their daily work. In addition to thermal protection, the models available at RAG Tailors combine mechanical resistance, ergonomics and thermal comfort, making them the right choice for those who demand mobility and performance in electrically hazardous environments.

Flame retardant shirts must comply with European safety standards such as EN ISO 11612 (protection against heat and flames), EN ISO 11611 (protection for welders) and other specific standards depending on the sector of activity. These certifications guarantee that the protective clothing has undergone rigorous heat resistance and durability tests. At RAG Tailors, all flame retardant shirts are fully certified according to international standards, providing reliable safety and compliance with regulations.
