frequently asked questions
Electrical arc flash PPE typically includes coveralls, jackets and trousers made from arc-rated fabrics, along with accessories such as gloves, hoods and face shields. This combination protects against burns, heat and the intense energy of an arc flash.
Arc flash PPE must meet key international standards, such as IEC 61482 for arc flash protection, EN ISO 11612 for heat and flame resistance, and EN 1149 for antistatic properties. Compliance with these standards ensures proven protection.
Depending on the task, PPE may include arc-rated clothing, insulating gloves, dielectric footwear, helmets, and face protection. Clothing should be selected based on a risk assessment to ensure adequate protection for the energy level present.
Arc flash garments are made with flame-resistant fabrics that absorb and dissipate arc energy. This prevents clothing from igniting or melting, reducing the risk of severe burns and allowing workers more time to escape harm.
Yes, alsico supplies electrical PPE in bulk, supported by a reliable supply chain and global production facilities. We work closely with procurement teams to meet workforce needs at scale.
Absolutely. Our garments can be tailored with company branding, colourways and specific design details. We also offer a custom-made design service for organisations needing a fully customised solution.
The right PPE depends on the hazards your workers face. A risk assessment should be carried out to determine the required arc rating and protective features. Our team can provide guidance to help you select the correct garments for your workforce.
