Workers in a broad range of industrial settings are at risk of exposure to heat stress, fire, arc flash, and additional occupational hazards. NFPA 2113, Standard on Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short-Duration Thermal Exposures from Fire, helps ensure personal protective equipment (PPE) is ready for use and properly chosen and applied to provide adequate protection on the job.

The standard offers general provisions for mitigating health and safety risks resulting from inappropriate use and inadequate maintenance, contamination, or damage to PPE.

The updated NFPA 2113 helps confirm flame-resistant garments and equipment comply with the latest standard.

NFPA 2113 offers the most current information on everything from the purchase and selection of flame-resistant garments based on workplace hazard analysis to specific provisions for wearing, caring for, and maintaining flame-resistant garments.

Revisions reflect up-to-date terminologies and practices, including the addition of a definition for biological terrorism agents in Chapter 3, and consideration of the protection of both the hands and head by flame-resistant garments in Chapter 4.

Access the most relevant information for helping to keep your team protected in areas at risk.
