Working in refineries and petrochemical plants involves exposure to complex electrical systems and high-energy equipment, which can pose severe arc flash hazards. Ensuring the safety of employees in these environments requires protective clothing that meets EN 61482 standards. At DOMEX SAFETY, we provide arc flash coveralls, shirts, and pants designed to deliver reliable protection in these demanding settings.
Refinery workers face unique challenges:
High-voltage switchgear and motor control centers
Confined electrical spaces with elevated arc flash potential
Constant exposure to industrial machinery and combustible environments
Without proper PPE, arc flash incidents can cause severe burns, injury, or even fatalities.
The EN 61482 standard ensures garments provide measurable protection against thermal hazards caused by arc flashes:
EN 61482-1-1 (Open Arc Test): Measures the garment’s ATPV or ELIM value, indicating the incident energy it can safely withstand.
EN 61482-1-2 (Box Test): Simulates an arc in confined spaces, reflecting real-world refinery conditions.
1.Full-Body Protection: Coveralls and two-piece sets prevent exposed skin from burns.
2.Compliance with Safety Regulations: Meeting EN 61482 demonstrates adherence to international safety standards.
3.Enhanced Confidence: Workers can operate with assurance, knowing their clothing provides tested protection.
At DOMEX SAFETY, our CAT 2 arc flash garments (ATPV ≥ 8 cal/cm²) are engineered for refinery operations:
Certified to EN 61482, NFPA 70E, and ASTM F1506
Designed for durability, comfort, and daily industrial use
Clearly labeled for ATPV, ELIM, and CAT rating to ensure compliance
Refineries require EN 61482 arc flash workwear to protect workers from high-energy electrical hazards. With DOMEX SAFETY, employers can provide employees with certified, comfortable, and reliable PPE that meets the toughest international standards.
