When your job requires you to wear hazard specific clothing to protect you from various risk levels, including FR Clothing or Switching Gear, you also require hazard specific Fire Retardant ArcSafe Wet Weather Gear to complete your protective garment system.
Workers in the electrical industry are often exposed to hazardous and potentially dangerous workplace conditions while working outdoors in the rain. The Zetel ® ArcSafe wet weather apparel was specifically developed by Elliotts to provide Australia’s leading solution for the protection of workers against electric arc flash in wet weather conditions.
The performance of the Zetel® ArcSafe fabric has also been improved. Modifications to the components and construction has improved the ATPV rating from 8.9 to 11.0 Cal.
Zetel® ArcSafe wet weather Jackets and Trousers have recently been tested by Kinetrics Laboratory in the US to ensure they meets the highest possible standards required by Electrical workers. The ArcSafe Jacket and Trouser showed no failures in the test results and provided solid feedback on the garments that they are the best Arc Flash wet weather gear available in Australian Market.
