Heat-protective clothing: what documentation to review

The workplace and manufacturer information you need when enquiring about protective clothing against heat and flames.

Protective clothing performance is verified in its documentation.

The term flame-resistant alone is not enough to choose a garment for a job. Selection must start with identified risks and the equipment's documented performance. Spain's INSST provides a selection and use sheet for clothing protecting against heat and flame.

Start with the workplace assessment

Share the tasks and exposure conditions with the person responsible for workplace prevention. Do not infer the required protection simply from working in a workshop or industrial setting; requirements can vary by role.

Review the garment documentation

Check markings, declared performance and the manufacturer's instructions for use, care and compatibility. Documentation must match the specific reference. Garments do not all offer the same performance, and every feature is not needed for every job.

Ask before customising

If you need to add a logo, ask for compatibility with the manufacturer's instructions to be reviewed before modifying the garment.
