Why is FR Needed?
• Most severe burn injuries
and fatalities are caused
by non-flame resistant
clothing igniting and
continuing to burn• Flame resistant clothing
will self-extinguish, thus
limiting the injury
• Body area under non-FR
clothing is often burnedmore severely than
exposed skin

“Primary” vs. “Secondary”
• Primary Protective Clothing
– Definition; “Clothing that is designed
to be worn for work activities where
significant exposure to molten
substance splash, radiant heat, and
flame is likely to occur.” Example-
Firefighter Turnout Gear
• Secondary Protective Clothing
– Definition; “Clothing that is designed
for continuous wear in designated
locations where intermittent exposure
to molten substance splash, radiant
heat, and flame is possible.”

Define the Hazard
Flash Fire: A fire that spreads rapidly through a diffusefuel such as dust, gas or the vapors of an ignitable liquid
Can generate temperatures of 1000-1900 deg F
Can last up to 5 seconds
Extended exposures possible in confined spaces

Are promulgated by a balanced committee of
industry members
Include a battery of test methods all of which
must be passed
Are continuously under review & revision
NFPA Standards

NFPA 2112Standard on Flame Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial
Personnel Against Flash Fire
• What it is….
– A means of certifying fabrics & findings suitable for use in FRclothing to be worn as protection against possible flash fire
exposure
8/9/2019 Safety Culture FR Clathing David Honeycutt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/safety-culture-fr-clathing-david-honeycutt 21/39
• Vertical Flame Test: 12 sec exposure, 2.0 sec maxafter flame, 4” max char length
• Oven Test: 10% max shrinkage after 5 minutes in
500 F, no melting/dripping allowed
• Heat Transfer Performance (HTP): 6 cal/cm2 with
spacer; 3 cal/cm2 without spacer
• ASTM F1930 Instrumented Manikin: 50% max
body burn following 3 sec 2.0 cal/cm2 exposure

less than 50% predicted
body burn

NFPA 2113
Standard on Selection, Care, Use and Maintenance of Flame Resistant
Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Flash Fire
• Provides common sense protocol for issues like:
– Conducting a hazard assessment – Selecting FR garments
• Upper & lower body coverage
• Non-FR heraldry
– Properly using FR garments
• Collars, sleeves, cuffs• Layering

OSHA memo issued Mar 19, 2010
• Clarifies OSHA’s policy in citing the general industry
standard for PPE: 29 CFR 1910.132
• Defines the flash fire hazard and the industry segments
where it exists
• References NFPA 2112 & 2113 as appropriate industry
standards for this application

Does OSHA enforce compliance with NFPA 2112?
• OSHA does NOT mandate compliance with NFPA 2112
• OSHA uses consensus standards, such as NFPA 2112,
as evidence of hazard recognition in evaluating GDC
violations

3rd Party Certification
• UL inspects our garments and facilities to determine if:
– Fabrics and findings are component recognized
– Garments meet the requirements of the standard
– Facilities have and maintain proper quality control procedures to
ensure product consistency
8/9/2019 Safety Culture FR Clathing David Honeycutt
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/safety-culture-fr-clathing-david-honeycutt 33/39
3rd party certifier that audits manufacturing facilities and conducts
independent testing on products to assure compliance with appropriate
industry standards.
What’s UL?

Are all flame resistant fabrics and garments
NFPA 2112 certified?
NO!

Conclusions
• OSHA memo isn’t a new directive; reinforces existing OSHA
policy
• Affirms that OSHA will be more proactive in issuing
citations/fines• Does NOT require compliance with NFPA 2112
• Has created an industry demand for NFPA 2112 compliant
garments

Replacement of FR Garments
• The replacement of FR Clothing is determined byseveral factors but the most important is its function to
provide safety to the employees in the workplace - 2113
– ALL FR fabrics maintain their FR properties for the life ofthe garment (assuming we are processing properly)
• Excessive patching, mending and repair warrant
garment replacement – based on NFPA 2113
