Helly Hansen Fakse protects against fire and static discharge
Does your company require employees to wear multi-standard work clothing? Then it also has added value to look for flame-retardant and anti-static undergarments. Although fewer safety requirements apply to this undergarment than to multi-standard clothing, the work clothing does offer standardized protection against dangerous situations with fire, sparks and static electricity. Such undergarments therefore form an extra protective layer, as it were, that keeps the risks to your safety even further away from your skin. Helly Hansen has been aware of the importance of good protection against these types of risks for years and has therefore developed its collection of Fakse underwear.
The Helly Hansen Fakse collection is an extensive line of FR/AS underwear. In the Unishore Workwear webshop you will find Fakse undershirts, long underpants, polos, balaclavas and neck protection and work socks with anti-static and flame-retardant properties. With this work clothing you can protect yourself from head to toe against the dangers of work with fire and static electricity. Helly Hansen Fakse work clothing is designed in such a way that you can wear the underwear comfortably under your multi-norm work jacket, multi-norm overalls or multi-norm work trousers and thus not be bothered by the clothing. Flames will extinguish with brief contact and the formation of sparks is prevented.
Standardized FR/AS underwear from Helly Hansen
Just like multi-standard work clothing, the FR/AS underwear from the Helly Hansen Fakse collection must meet a number of important safety standards. One of these is the EN 1149 standard. Work clothing with this standard, together with ESD work shoes, forms a completely grounded system, so that no sparks can occur. This also prevents explosions due to electrostatic discharge. Antistatic work clothing is not suitable for a working environment enriched with oxygen or for protection against mains voltage. However, anti-static clothing is a must for companies that have to comply with ATEX guidelines and the Helly Hansen Fakse collection is a reliable choice.
The EN ISO 11612 standard exists for protection against flames. Work clothing that meets the requirements of this standard is tested for protection against flames. This standardized work clothing also offers limited protection against radiant heat and convective heat. This makes EN 11612-standard work clothing the ideal protective clothing for employees who are exposed to heat and flames. Separate standards only apply to firefighter clothing and welding clothing. Fire-retardant clothing can be made of fibers that extinguish flames upon brief contact, but the fabric can also have a coating applied to it.
In addition, Helly Hansen Fakse work clothing also complies with the IEC 61482 standard. This standard guarantees that work clothing protects against the thermal effects of an electric arc due to a short circuit. The three standards that you will find in the Fakse underwear offer you all the protection you require from underwear in a risky situation. Further protection is provided by the work jackets, overalls or work trousers that you wear over it.
