When it comes to workplace safety, flame-resistant (FR) coveralls are among the most trusted garments across industries such as oil and gas, electrical utilities, mining, chemical processing, and construction. They protect workers from flash fires, arc flashes, and thermal hazards that could otherwise lead to severe injuries. But while the protective function of FR clothing is universal, the environments in which workers operate are not. From blistering desert oil fields to icy northern drilling rigs and humid coastal refineries, extreme weather adds another layer of complexity to safety and comfort.
In high-risk industries like oil and gas, construction, electrical work, welding, and manufacturing, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. Workers face hazards daily, from open flames to electrical arcs, and wearing the right protective gear can mean the difference between a minor incident and a life-threatening injury. Among the most essential pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) is the FR jacket.
Flash Fires are a significant occupational hazard & Tarsafe’s Protective Flash Fire Resistant Clothing reduces/prevents thermal injury in the body areas that are covered by the FR material.

The oil and gas industry is known for its high-risk work environments, where exposure to flammable gases, vapors, and liquids is a daily reality. In such settings, worker safety is paramount—and one of the most essential protective measures is the use of flame-resistant (FR) clothing. FR clothing is more than just a uniform; it’s a vital piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) that can mean the difference between minor injuries and life-threatening burns.
NFPA 2112 is a standard on Flame-Resistant Clothing for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short-Duration Thermal Exposures from Fire. This norm is majorly used for risk associated with the fire accidents in the Petro-chemical, Oil and Gas industries and specifically governs FR clothing requirements in the U.S. market.
Electric arc protection clothing is a specialized type of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed to protect workers from these dangers. In many jurisdictions, wearing arc-rated (AR) clothing is not just a recommendation—it’s a legal requirement.
