Flame Resistant Clothing and Protective Equipment

In April 2014 OSHA issued a final rule that significantly revised the safety regulations specific to the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, transmission and distribution installations. The revised rule include new requirements for protecting workers from electric arcs and using arc-rated clothing and protective equipment.
