Explore the top three flame-resistant workwear choices designed to enhance safety in high-risk industries. From durable jeans to visibility-enhanced shirts and protective coveralls, discover gear that combines compliance, comfort, and safety to safeguard workers against flames and heat hazards effectively.
Protecting workers from flames and extreme heat is crucial, and flame-resistant clothing plays a vital role. Designed to prevent ignition and self-extinguish, these garments reduce burn injury risks. The NFPA assigns Hazard Risk Categories that indicate protective levels, which are shown on labels—higher ratings offer greater safety. Here are three top flame-resistant workwear pieces suited for high-risk environments:
Ariat FR Work JeansOnce thought to be non-protective, denim in workwear now meets strict safety standards thanks to updated OSHA regulations in 2015.

Available in straight and boot cut styles, these jeans provide reliable protection while ensuring comfort.
