risikovurdering & certificeringer

hvor meget beskyttelse har du brug for?

En risikovurdering af arbejdspladsen begynder med en analyse af alle de potentielle farer. Resultaterne fra dette studie hjælper med at afgøre passende beklædning, der yder det korrekte niveau for beskyttelse og den bedste komfort. Vi leverer beskyttelsesbeklædning, som er velegnet til næsten alle erhverv og arbejdskrav, og som giver dig maksimal beskyttelse, så du kan arbejde sikkert. Eksempler på farer, der er undersøgt i en risikovurdering: Fare forbundet med varme: Høj konvektionsvarme, høj radial varme, flammekontakt, damp, smeltede metaller og varme overflader. Elektriske farer: Højspænding, lysbue, statisk elektricitet. ​​​​​​​

Nedenfor finder du et par eksempler på farer inden for forskellige erhverv og i henhold til, hvilke certificeringer beskyttelsesbeklædningen skal have. Du finder også mere information om de forskellige certifikater og produktanbefalinger, der imødekommer kravene.

RISK ASSESSMENT:
ELECTRICIAN

riskanalys elektriker fristads

  • Protection from contact with heat and flame (EN ISO 11612).

  • Protective clothing against thermal hazards that may occur in electric arc accidents , tested according to IEC 61482-2.

  • ATPV/EBT value of at least   8 cal/cm2  is the general guideline. If the risk is higher, we recommend you to wear several layers of certified garments or garments with higher arc-rating.

RISK ASSESSMENT:
WELDER

  • Protection from contact with heat and flame (EN 11612).

  • Protection against welding sparks  (EN ISO 11611).

  • Gaments suitable for welding have fewer pockets and functional details than other garments.   

  • Often used in conjunktion with other PPE, e.g. welding apron, helmet and gloves.

RISK ASSESSMENT:

  • Protection from contact with heat and flame (EN 11612).

  • Protection against sudden discharge of electrostatic energy, where there is a risk that static sparks may ignite flammable substances such as gas or oil (EN 1149-5).

  • Conductive material sush as metal zippers or buttons must be concealed.

  • Protection against rain and high visibility (EN 20471) are also often important for this group.

NORMer & CERTIFiceringer

ELECTRIC ARC

Protective clothing tested according to IEC 61482-2 protects you from thermal hazards  that  may occur in electric arc accidents.

WHO NEEDS PROTECTION AGAINST ELECTRIC ARC?  
Electricians, when servicing equipment in non-arc-safe distribution plants or electrical switchboards, or when working with high-voltage equipment.

PROTECTION AGAINST
  • Electric arc
  • Metal splashes
  • Heat and flame
  • Radiant heat
  • Conductive heat
  • High voltage
  • Plasma clouds
  • Radiation
WE RECOMMEND
FLAMESTAT GORE-TEX®
FLAMESTAT MULTINORM
FLAMESTAT UNDERWEAR


When there is a risk of being exposed to an electric arc, for example, when servicing equipment in non-arc-safe distribution plants or electrical switchboards, or when working on high voltage equipment, personnel are recommended to wear arc-approved protective clothing.
What protection does your clothing need to provide during an arc blast?
The plasma clouds, flames, radiation and metal splashes from the electrodes hit the fabric during an arc blast. When this occurs, the fabric has to provide sufficient insulation to prevent second-degree skin burns. An effective fabric used in an arc garment must provide shielding against the flame and metal splashes, as well as insulation from the intense heat. The standard IEC 61482-2 includes two test methods, EN 61482-1-1 (open arc) and EN 61482-1-2 (box test). Our garments are certified according to both test methods or one of them.  

The garments must cover the whole body. For example, a jacket and trousers must be worn together with other personal protective equipment (PPE), including a helmet with protective visor, protective gloves and protective footwear (boots) to achieve the correct level of protection. Layering is very important and will increase protection – if you wear flame retardant underwear underneath your flame retardant garments you are protected for even better.

HEAT AND FLAME

Protective clothing approved according to  EN ISO 11612 protecting the user from contact with heat and flame.  

WHO NEEDS PROTECTION AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME?  
  • Electricians
  • Industrial workers
  • Miners
  • Road- and railworkers
  • Welders
  • Foundry workers
  • Off-shore
  • Energy
  • Refinery
  • Maintanance
PROTECTION AGAINST
  • Limited flame spread (A)
  • Convective heat (B)
  • Radiant heat (C)
  • Molten aluminium splash (D)
  • Molten iron splash (E)
  • Contact heat (F)​​​​​​​
WE RECOMMEND
All our garments are certified to protect against heat and flames. For protection against molten iron and aluminium se code letter  E below.

Two-piece protective clothing must be worn together to provide the specified level of protection. The CE-label inside the garment states the required garment-assembly. The CE-label inside the garment states to which code letters the garment are certified. The higher level, the better. The following code letters are describing the performance of the garments.

A: Limited flame spread
A1 - Surface ignition
A2 - Edge ignition

B: Protection against convective heat
B1 – B3
Convective heat is the heat that passes through the garment when in contact with flame. If there is an outer fabric that does not burn, injury may nevertheless occur due to the heat that forms when the fabric – and, indirectly, the body – comes into contact with the  flame.
C: Protection against radiant heat
C1 – C4
Low radiant heat over a long period can result in a risk of injury.

D: Protection against molten aluminum splash
D1 – D3

E: Protection against molten iron splash
E1 – E3
Even if the fabric does not start to burn or decay in contact with the molten metal, you can still get burns. The test indicates how many molten metal splashes the fabric can withstand before protection is compromised.

F: Protection against contact heat
F1 – F3
Contact heat over a long period can result in risk of injury.

WELDING

Protective clothing certified according  EN ISO 11611  for use in welding or allied processes. The  standard has two classes with specific protection levels. Class 1 is the lower, and class 2 the higher level.

WHO NEEDS WELDING PROTECTION?
  • Welders
  • Rail-workers
  • Miners
  • Foundry workers
PROTECTION AGAINST
  • Welding sparks
  • UV radiation
  • Heat and flame

FLAMESTAT TROUSERS 2165 MFA


Garments for welders have fewer pockets and functional details than other garments and are often used together with welding apron, helmet and gloves.   In electric arc-welding operations there is a risk of exposure of skin to Ultraviolet (UV) radiation. During use the fabric of the clothing will degrade. Examine the garments regularly to prevent exposure to UV radiation. If user experience sunburn-like symptoms, UVB is penetrating. If garment is found to be penetrated by UV radiation, it should be repaired (if practicable) or replaced and the use of additional, more resistant protective layers should be considered in future. Two-piece protective clothing must be worn together to provide the specified level of protection. The CE-label inside the garment states the required garment-assembly. Using additional partial protective garments, the basic garment shall meet at least Class 1. Use of welding apron which covers the front body at least from side seam to side seam is recommended. Additional partial body protection may be required, e.g. for welding overhead.
