Arc-Flash Selection and OSHA Requirements
CAT 2 does not establish suitability for every energized task. Select the complete PPE system using the applicable hazard assessment. When using incident-energy analysis, the arc rating must meet or exceed the calculated exposure. Do not add individual garment ratings to calculate a layered-system rating.
OSHA 1910.335(a)(1)(i) requires electrical protective equipment appropriate to the work and exposed body parts. For covered electric-power work, OSHA 1910.269(l)(8) addresses protection from flames and electric arcs. These are employer requirements, not OSHA product approvals. NFPA 70E addresses workplace electrical safety; this shirt does not provide electrical-shock insulation.
Manufacturer Documentation and Care
Portwest FR724 specifications and documentation provides the manufacturer's specifications. Follow the sewn label: wash up to 60°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low, iron up to 110°C, and do not dry clean. Inspect condition and contamination before use.
