How do you Safely Combine FR Protection and Chemical Protection… and how can you Prove it?

FR workwear is one of the most common types of PPE and is used in multiple industries – notably in oil, gas, and petrochemical. And it is very common in these industries especially, that whilst wearing Primary FR protective clothing, workers also need chemical protection at the same time.

Get it wrong through inappropriate combinations of PPE and the consequences could be catastrophic.
