2Subjective ranking.

3“Life Cost” refers to the expected expenditures for FR clothing

over the life of a program. For example, if a garment has a high up-front cost but a long wear life, the actual program cost is low. 4Actual garment life varies greatly and depends

on conditions of use. Workrite Uniform makes no warranty regarding the wear life of flame-resistant fabrics. “Wear Life” estimates are based on following the manufacturer’s recommended handling procedures.

Only you or your employer can determine the hazards at your worksite and the appropriate level of protection required.
