protecting workers in the petrochemical industry
The petrochemical industry demands exceptional safety standards. Workers handle flammable materials, corrosive substances, and static-prone environments, meaning petrochemical clothing must perform under pressure.
Alsico’s protective garments for use in the petrochemical industry are tested and certified to protect against flame, chemical, and electrostatic hazards, ensuring compliance and confidence across your workforce.

frequently asked questions
Petrochemical protective clothing is specialist workwear designed to protect workers operating in environments where flammable substances, hazardous chemicals, and static electricity are present. It combines multiple protective properties to reduce the risk of injury during routine tasks and unexpected incidents.
Unlike standard industrial workwear, petrochemical PPE is engineered to perform under extreme conditions. It prioritises protection without compromising comfort, durability, or ease of movement.
Petrochemical workwear is typically certified to a combination of international standards. These commonly include EN ISO 11612 for flame and heat protection, EN 1149 for anti-static performance, and EN 13034 for limited chemical splash protection.
Depending on the role and environment, additional standards such as EN ISO 20471 for high visibility or EN ISO 11611 for welding may also apply. The correct standard mix should always be based on a site-specific risk assessment.
Petrochemical clothing is designed to protect against multiple, overlapping hazards. These include flash fire, heat exposure, static discharge, and accidental contact with hazardous liquids.
It also supports safer working around heavy plant, vehicles, and complex infrastructure, particularly when combined with high-visibility features in low-light conditions.
Yes, many petrochemical garments are multi-certified to address more than one risk simultaneously. For example, a single garment may offer flame resistance, anti-static protection, and limited chemical splash resistance.
This layered protection is essential in petrochemical environments, where incidents rarely involve a single hazard in isolation.
Alsico tests petrochemical PPE against the relevant European and international standards to ensure consistent, repeatable performance. This includes laboratory testing for flame spread, heat transfer, static dissipation, and chemical repellence.
Beyond certification, alsico focuses on real-world wear trials, fabric longevity, and garment construction to ensure protection is maintained throughout the life of the product.
Yes, alsico can supply petrochemical workwear with bespoke branding, including embroidered or heat-applied logos. Branding is applied in a way that does not compromise garment performance or compliance.
This allows organisations to maintain a professional, consistent brand presence across site, without sacrificing safety.
Alsico has extensive experience supplying petrochemical PPE for large, multi-site contracts. This includes managing complex size curves, role-based garment specifications, and consistent standards across locations.
Supply chain resilience and quality control are central to alsico’s approach, supporting long-term partnerships in safety-critical industries.
Flame-resistant clothing focuses specifically on protecting against ignition and heat exposure, typically meeting standards such as EN ISO 11612. It is essential where flash fire risks are present but may not address other hazards.
Petrochemical clothing is broader in scope. It usually combines flame resistance with anti-static properties and chemical splash protection, making it suitable for the layered risks found across petrochemical operations.
