There are many reasons why your business might require fire-resistant clothing or even a fire-resistant uniform. First and foremost, if your industry requires you to be near excessive heat, electricity, or fire, then a fire-resistant wardrobe is probably an OSHA or company-wide requirement.
Since we are a leading uniform rental company in New England, we thought we’d share the benefits of fire-resistant clothing with you. If you’re not convinced that your employees could benefit from fire-resistant uniforms after reading this, then you probably don’t work around fire and heat!
Thermal Insulation
One of the most common misconceptions about fire-resistant clothing is that it’s only for contact with flames. However, most fire-resistant clothing is thermally insulated, which means it keeps excessive heat away from your body. That’s why firefighters can enter burning buildings—their uniforms keep much of the heat away from them.
Clothing Won’t Melt or Burn
Perhaps the biggest perk of a fire-resistant wardrobe is that it will neither melt nor burn. Many serious injuries are caused by clothing adhering to a person or acting as an accelerant once it catches on fire. When either of these two things happens, there is little a person can do to remove themselves from the situation; the fire will cling to them.
Flame Resistant Uniforms have Excellent Durability
Fire-resistant textiles are extremely durable, meaning they won’t rip, tear, or wear out easily. Uniforms made of these materials will last you a long time. In many of the trades that require fire-resistant uniforms, durability is extremely important as well.
We Can Rent It to You
Most importantly, you don’t need to make the big investment of buying all of your employees a fire-resistant wardrobe. Nor do you need to concern yourself with keeping those uniforms clean and tidy. We can rent you wardrobes and manage their care and give you peace of mind along the way. We rent to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and much of the greater New England area.
