Flame Resistant Work Wear Provided, by Silver Needle Inc.

Working near an electrical hazard is dangerous and can be fatal. With adequate safety measures in place, electrical injuries and fatalities can be prevented.  The majority of workers do not know what they are up against. Up to 80% of all electrical injuries are burns resulting from an arc flash ignition of flammable clothing. Be informed. Be protected to safeguard your life.

Working in extreme heat and environments containing the threat of molten metal splash and spill can be some of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

Silver Needle has a wide variety of personal protection equipment for the molten metal industry. Aluminized materials offer unique insulation and heat reflective qualities, reflect radiant heat, reduce the flow of convective or ambient heat by 50% or greater, and reduce the high-heat transfer by shedding both ferrous and non-ferrous molten metals splashed on clothing. Garments made from FR9B, Oasis™, or Indura® are not recommended for primary protection but offer excellent secondary protection.  To assist you in making an informed decision about garments made for primary protection we provide fabric test kits. The test simulates a molten splash so you can determine which fabrics will work for your employees under your plant conditions.

Just imagine working close to heat and fire for long hours each day. The greatest hazard that comes with welding is fire. Besides having the ability to burn a worker alive, welding can turn a building to ash in a matter of minutes.  Welding and cutting can produce hazards such as sparks, spatter, radiation (infrared, ultraviolet, and blue light), slag, heat, hot metal, fumes and gases, and even electric shock. Since these hazards may cause burns, injury, or death, it is important to wear proper PPE at all times.
