Flame resistant - Overalls

A coverall closes all the way around without a vulnerable seam at the waist, so sparks can't fall in through the waist.

Yes, the coverall is tested to EN ISO 11612 and is widely worn by welders and workers in industry.

The letters indicate what the fabric has been tested against. A stands for limited flame spread, B for convective heat, C for radiant heat, D and E for splashes of molten aluminium and iron, and F for contact heat. The number after B, C, D, E or F indicates the level; the higher, the better the protection.

Wear cotton clothing underneath or, better still, flame-resistant underwear. Avoid synthetic fabrics such as polyester and fleece directly on the skin, as they can melt in the heat and make burns worse. An ordinary sweater under the coverall can also reduce the protection.

Many coveralls in this collection are also antistatic according to EN 1149-5, but not all of them. If you work in an ATEX zone, check on the product page whether that standard is listed. Always combine an antistatic coverall with antistatic shoes, otherwise the charge cannot drain away.
