Arc Flash Personal Protective Equipment Breathability
For an electrician, Australia’s humid climate is difficult enough, let alone wearing a heavy arc flash suit and gloves. However, whenever electrical equipment fails, no matter how hot, workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
After the official launch of “Elliotts Next Generation Arc Flash PPE”I would like to discuss another common issue employees have with PPE: enduring the heat.
If the worker wears an arc flash suit, he or she will be wearing appropriate clothing when performing work where an arc flash may occur. Given that workers are restrictive and wear heavy suits that are uncomfortable and extremely hot, high-pressure scenarios that require complete concentration create additional stress. Even the most experienced electrician is at risk and can lose focus when completing work in the heat. This means workers are at great risk if they do not wear proper protective equipment.
Elliotts PPE is transforming electrical PPE
For over 55 years, Elliotts has been innovating and designing new products to meet the needs of our customers. At Elliotts, we recognize the challenges that exist for electrical workers, and when Ark set out to transform the flash PPE market, he designed a product to solve the problems associated with wearing electrical PPE. We’ve taken your feedback into consideration when it comes to addressing issues by improving weight, comfort and mobility.
Elliotts’ new X50 range introduces a new lightweight system to the market to meet the need for lighter, more comfortable, and easier-to-move suits. In addition to this, we added a new “arc vent” to increase airflow in the hood overall.
