“…In recent years, much effort has been applied to various types of flame-resistant clothing and to determining weights and construction of natural fibers that resist ignition. In short, the level of protection must match the category of the hazard and, in addition to thermal protection, the PPE system must also be comfortable and durable (Laverty, 2001). Accepted PPE includes flameresistant clothing, flash suits (for high-energy arc exposure), flash suit hoods, insulating gloves, and insulated tools.…”
