LAST LINE of defense

Does your job require FR clothing?

Inspect It Often

If your job requires flame resistant (FR) clothing, evaluate it often and remove items from service that no longer offer optimum protection (When in doubt, throw it out!)

The specialized clothing is only as effective as the condition it is in Just as you would not continue to use damaged equipment or other safety gear, do not use FR clothing that is in poor condition.
