Heat and Flame Protective Wear Risk environments
and categories. There are many types of risk areas where workers need protective wear. Examples of these areas are environments where workers may be exposed to electrical hazards, the risk of collision as well as thermal, chemical and mechanical risks. These risk environments present various levels of risk and therefore require different types of protective wear. In order to meet the protective requirements of each specific risk area, protective wear is divided into three categories. Category I indicates exposure to minimal risks, and for this category there are CE standards such as EN 343 (rain protection) and EN 14058 (cold protection). Cate gory II includes exposure to medium risks, and EN 20471 (high visibility clothing) is an example of a standard in this category. Category III covers exposure to serious risks, which include major hazards such as electric arcs and molten metal splashes or liquid chemicals. In summary, the higher the category number, the higher the level of protection. 20471 11612 11416 61482 13034 11611 Read more at snickersworkwear.com or page 76-81. 342 14404 1149-5 343 9
