Many myths and misconceptions about flame-resistant and arc-rated clothing exist. During this webinar, Derek Sang, technical training manager at Bulwark, will address some of the more common ones and provide helpful tips on how to get the most out of your protective gear.

Learning objectives:

• FR/AR clothing shouldn’t be evaluated solely on price and weight – doing so eliminates safety and overall comfort from consideration.
• Understanding industry standards and how your clothing is made so you can make an educated purchase.
• Most importantly, how to wear your FR/AR clothing properly and avoid injuries or catastrophes.
