Rain Wear

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FR rain gear is waterproof workwear made from flame-resistant fabric that resists ignition and self-extinguishes when the heat source is removed. Regular rain gear can melt or burn. Forge FR rain wear keeps you dry while adding protection against flash fire and arc hazards.

No. Non-FR rain gear can ignite or melt over FR clothing and cause severe burns, even if the FR layer underneath stays intact. NFPA 70E requires every layer in an arc flash environment to be non-melting. Wear FR rain gear as your outer layer.

Look for NFPA 2112 (flash fire), NFPA 70E and ASTM F1891 (arc rating), and ANSI/ISEA 107 (high visibility). Your site's hazard assessment decides which ones you need.

Workers who face fire or arc hazards and rain at the same time need it. That includes electrical utility crews, oil and gas, refinery, petrochemical and welding workers. If your job has no thermal hazard, standard rain gear may be enough.
