What is a Flash Fire?
A flash fire is a rapidly moving flame that can be caused by a diffuse fuel, such as dust, gas, or the vapors of an ignitable liquid, without the production of damaging pressure. Unfortunately, flash fires cannot be completely prevented, but there are precautionary steps you can take to give you and your crew an extra advantage if a flash fire were to occur.
Selecting Proper FR Clothing for Flash Fires Hazards
Selecting proper flame resistant clothing for a flash fire should be based on a number of factors, such as protection, comfort, and durability. The use of flash fire PPE is determined by analyzing job site hazards utilizing NFPA 2113 Standard on Selection, Care, Use, and Maintenance of Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire. This OSHA recognized standard involves performing a fire hazard assessment and choosing PPE that meets the specification set forth in the NFPA 2112 testing standard.
Brite Star is a distributor of all major FR Garment Manufacturers and offers a wide selection of Flame Resistant Uniforms, UL Classified and conforming to NPPA 2112. We can provide your company with proper FR Flame Resistant garments that meet or exceed industry standards.

What is an Arc Flash?
Per OSHA, and simply put, an arc flash is a phenomenon where a flashover of electric current leaves its intended path and travels through the air from one conductor to another or ground. The results are often violent, and when a human is in close proximity to the arc flash.
Which Workers Need Arc-Rated Uniforms?
NFPA 70E requires that employees wear arc-rated clothing wherever there is the possibility of exposure to an electric arc above the threshold incident energy level for a second-degree burn.
