Items Tagged with 'high heat resistance garments'

Hot, bulky, too tight or too loose - what starts out as required personal protective equipment (PPE) can become oppressive after four, eight or even 12 hours at work. The temptation for an overheated worker to pull off a glove or hood, roll up sleeves or unzip a coverall for a moment of relief can be irresistible.

The topic of worker heat exposure has made headlines across the country in recent years. In January of this year, OSHA leveled a fine of $149,664 for violations of the General Duty Clause in response to the 2018 death of a California Postal Worker.

National Safety Apparel has added a whole new approach to high heat resistance with the release of its non-aluminized Stealth line. The brand new Stealth line is designed for workers in high heat environments seeking a more comfortable option than traditional aluminized personal garments.
