Call me dumb but I never knew about the underarmour. This is my first winter in oil transport so I was used to wearing my underamour coldgear under my layers of cloths. Guess I won’t be doing that anymore
You’re ok. If you’re in a fire long enough and hot enough to melt your undergarments through your FR you’re a goner anyway. I’ve worked in most of the refineries and chemical plants on the Mississippi River, if it was dangerous as to what you had on under your FR, these places would dictate what to wear underneath. They don’t
@@Ransome2501 I appreciate the conversation but most policies will point to NFPA 2112 approved clothing in regards to flash fire which these clothes are designed to protect from. Polyester can start melting at 135 F. You’d be much better off being naked under your FR coverall than wearing under armor cold gear if there was an incident. If you look at the inside of a garment that has been through an arc flash or involved in flash fire you can see that it burns. I’ve seen someone experience an arc flash blast and the only injuries they experienced was due to their bra melting to their skin. The tests are out there if you look for it. Be careful out there and thanks for watching and commenting.
