In today’s industrial environments, workers often face multiple hazards — electrical arcs, flash fires, and thermal exposure. That’s why many companies now rely on Dual Hazard PPE, which offers both arc flash protection and flame-resistant (FR) performance in one garment.
“Dual hazard” doesn’t mean double thickness — it means dual certification.
A true dual hazard garment is tested and compliant with both:
Arc flash standards such as NFPA 70E / ASTM F1506 / IEC 61482, and
Flame-resistant standards such as EN ISO 11612 (heat and flame) or NFPA 2112 (flash fire).
This ensures protection from electrical arcs and thermal exposure without compromising comfort or mobility.
Workers in oil & gas, utilities, petrochemicals, and industrial maintenance frequently encounter overlapping risks.
Instead of layering multiple garments, dual hazard PPE provides comprehensive protection in a single system, reducing bulk, improving comfort, and ensuring consistent compliance.
Arc-rated (AR) and FR certified fabrics
ATPV ≥ 8 cal/cm² for CAT 2 or higher protection
Antistatic properties under EN 1149-5
Durable, breathable fabrics that withstand ≥ 50 industrial wash cycles
By combining FR fibers and engineered blends, these garments maintain long-term performance and thermal stability.
Look for products that list both standard numbers and performance levels on the label — for example:
EN ISO 11612: A1, B1, C1
EN 1149-5
NFPA 70E CAT 2 / ASTM F1506
Avoid garments labeled “FR” only; true dual hazard PPE must include arc flash testing and certification.
At DomexSafety.com, we specialize in dual hazard arc flash and FR workwear designed for comfort, durability, and verified compliance.
Every shirt, pant, and coverall is tested to EN ISO 11612, EN 1149-5, and NFPA 70E, ensuring complete protection where electrical and thermal hazards intersect.
