Confirm the Complete Protective Ensemble
The manufacturer describes style 461-ST-LR as NFPA 1999 compliant and as meeting ASTM F1670/F1671; this does not make it structural-firefighting, flash-fire, arc-flash, chemical-splash, or respiratory PPE. The employer must assess the exposure and verify the garment label, size, closures, condition, care history, and compatibility with gloves, footwear, eye and face protection, and other required equipment. Follow the sewn care label. Do not use fabric softener, which the manufacturer warns can damage the PTFE film and reduce barrier performance.
