Arc Flash Care & Maintenance Instructions
Importance of Clean and Maintained Garments
It is important that you keep your protective garment clean, free of contamination, and properly maintained at all times. Protective garments that are dirty or contaminated pose significant hazards. The wearing of soiled or contaminated clothing can cause acute or long-term health hazards. Many contaminants can be absorbed by the skin, and some are carcinogenic. In addition, many types of contaminants are flammable and garments that are contaminated may absorb heat at a faster rate than clean garments. Therefore, if your garment becomes soiled, you should clean your garment after use.
