The TRu DIFFERENCE AUSTRALIAN DESIGNED TRu Workwear constructs light and breathable garments with high UPF ratings through extensive yarn development, essential properties for combating harsh Australian conditions. The garment construction - retroreflective tape and high-visibility material configurations - meet Australian safety specifications, providing the wearer with maximum protection. TRu Workwear ensures that every garment meets Australian standards.

CERTIFIED Workwear in Australia is only required to comply with the necessary Australian or European standards. Compliance, however, is a simple claim often made without verification. For TRu Workwear this is not enough, seeking assurance from an independent Notifying Body (NB), BSI Group. Certification of products by BSI Group ensures the product actually meets compliance claims. This validation by the NB is vital for ensuring garment protection levels are accurate. TRu Workwear has raised the bar within the Australian market by ensuring its products are certified to the highest safety standards, a point of difference that provides peace of mind to the wearer and distributor.

INNOVATIVE Yarn innovation is the driving force behind our garments. New spinning and dying techniques have allowed the production of garments that last longer and are lighter yet offer more protection, essential for Australian conditions. As a business, we have been investing in research and development to drive innovation, and we remain a market leader in producing industry-first garments.

DURABLE For a product to outlast the build, it must be built to last; this is why we construct all TRu Workwear from the yarn up. We produce and test all garments with technological advancements and yarn spinning innovations, ensuring they exceed fabric specifications and testing. Rigorous testing measures allow us to stand behind our products, knowing they will outlast their intended use.

COMFORTABLE Australia has some of the harshest working conditions of any country around the world. TRu Workwear is designed to combat sweltering Australian summers as well as its cold crisp mornings. Venting systems that combine horizontal/vertical cooling vents and underarm mesh vents for breathability, fabrics with high-visibility colour fastness and UPF 50+ protection will withstand the Australian sun and are essential garment features to ensure comfortable working conditions. With the everincreasing need for workwear to last, comfortable and well-fitting products are paramount. All of TRu Workwear's products are fit tested and trialled for user comfort. Our garments are for the worker.

SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

DRIVING A TRu CHANGE TRu Workwear proudly supports the United Nations Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) program. As a signatory member, TRu Workwear looks forward to posting its first Communication on Progress (CoP) report in 2021; outlining the actions and initiatives it has carried out in line with its commitment and obligations to the UNGC and the world in which we live.

Corporate sustainability starts with a company's value system and a principles-based approach to doing business. In practice, this means operating in ways that, at a minimum, meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Responsible businesses enact the same values and principles wherever they have a presence and know that good practices in one area do not offset harm in another. In late 2020 TRu Workwear decided that the best way to develop its corporate sustainability in a meaningful way was to align its goals with those of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). As a special initiative of the UN Secretary-General, the United Nations Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with ten universal principles in human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals. With more than 10,000 companies and 3,000 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and more than 60 local networks, it is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world. By incorporating the Ten Principles of the UNGC into strategies, policies and procedures, and establishing a culture of integrity, companies uphold their essential responsibilities to people and the planet and set the stage for long-term success. For the UNGC Ten Principles to be realised, transformational change must occur. The UNGC Social Development Goals (SDGs) allow businesses a framework to engage with the world and fulfill their commitments and achieve a more sustainable and equitable world for 2030. By aligning itself to these SDGs, TRu Workwear can make effective change within its own business and active engagement with the broader local community and internationally to play its part in this global sustainability initiative.

The UNGC pursues two main objectives: 1. Incorporate the Ten Principles into business activities around the world. 2. Channel actions in support of the broader goals of the United Nations, including its seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

HUMAN RIGHTS

LABOUR

ENVIRONMENT

ANTI-CORRUPTION

Principle 1 Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and

Principle 3 Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;

Principle 7 Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges;

Principle 10 Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

Principle 2 make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.

Principle 4 the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour; Principle 5 the effective abolition of child labour; and Principle 6 the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

Principle 8 undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and Principle 9 encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.

Australia's First Certified Range of Workwear Product Certification Australian and New Zealand standards created to regulate workwear, are developed by joint technical committees consisting of representatives from relevant organisations, including Australian/New Zealand government bodies, universities and technical specialists like the CSIRO. These standards are approved by the Council of Standards Australia and are what a global independent Notified Body (NB) such as BSI Group use as the basis of product certification. Australian and New Zealand standards align with European and other international standards but differ on some performance requirements. Workwear standards include but are not limited to the following:

S/NZS 1906.4:2010 - Retroreflective materials and devices for road traffic A control purposes - Part 4: High-visibility materials for safety garments S/NZS 4602.1:2011 - High-visibility safety garments - Part 1: Garments for A high risk applications STM F1959/F1959M (NFPA 70E) - Test method for determining the arc rating A of materials for clothing Products in Australia only require to comply with the above standards. Compliance with a safety standard is simply a claim without verification. Simple compliance is unacceptable for TRu Workwear and Bool Workwear. Certification of products by an independent Notified Body (NB) ensures the product indisputably meets safety claims. This validation by the NB is vital for ensuring the protection levels are accurate. In Europe, certification to the latest workwear standards is mandatory – in Australia, it is not. TRu Workwear has raised the bar by ensuring our entire range of products are certified. A point of difference that verifies TRu Workwear is the safest, giving peace of mind to the wearer, employer and distributor.

GARMENT FABRIC & MATERIALS

AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Retroreflective materials and devices for road traffic control purposes Part 4: High-visibility materials for safety garments High-visibility workwear is a trusted safety tool onsite. High-visibility fabrics and retroreflective materials are essential for a safety garment, as stipulated by standard AS/NZS 4602.1:2011, which benchmarks the safety requirements for a workwear garment in its entirety. AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 states that high-visibility workwear is comprised of two categories of materials; high-visibility fabrics and retroreflective materials. These materials have different properties that create strong optical effects when responding to either natural or generated light sources. They are both uniquely essential for providing visibility in particular environmental conditions and times of the day.

TESTING METHODS The AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 standard aims to confirm a fabrics' visibility with a 'daytime colour and luminance factor test' that compares the fabrics' properties against the standards benchmark results. It does so by assessing the levels of the following fabric properties and additional durability testing as below: FABRIC PROPERTIES

DURABILITY TESTING

Chromaticity - Quality of colour independent of brightness

Colourfastness after UV exposure

Photometric - Perception of light in terms of brightness or luminescence

Colourfastness to washing test

Colormetric - Concentration of a chemical compound responsible for colour and other physical property requirements

Colourfastness to perspiration test

The result is a classification system that places the fabrics in four categories in terms of fluorescence and reflective properties, as stipulated on the right.

MATERIAL TYPES Retroreflective Material

High-Visibility Fabric

Retroreflective material reflects light directly back to its source, a valuable property when conducting night works. In the absence of daylight, workers rely on artificial light sources like torches and car headlights to see their environment. Retroreflective materials will return the light from these artificial light sources back to the viewer.

High-visibility fabric reflects the sunlight and appears brightest during the day. It can be either fluorescent like the bright glowing yellow of a micromesh polo shirt or non-fluorescent like the richer yellow of a cotton drill shirt - this is dependent on the garments fibres.

CLASS F

High Daytime Visibility Fluorescent Material Class F garments are the most common class. This class consists of garments with high-visibility fabric. The high-visibility fabric is woven or knitted out of natural or man-made fibres dependent on a particular high-visibility colour range. The standard specifies the use of specific colour spaces of yellow, orange and orange/red. Fabric fibres that meet Class F are manipulated to retain more fluorescent dye for a longer duration than natural fibres. Wet weather garments can achieve a Class F (W) where the material passes an optional wet weather test along with the Class F classification.

CLASS NF High Daytime Visibility Non-Fluorescent Material Class NF is given to fabrics - typically made from natural fibres - which have a lower chromaticity level due to the nature of the material. Natural fibres tend to be highly breathable, and for this reason, many prefer their use to combat humid conditions and extensive sun exposure. Natural fibre garments tend to have reduced colour retention properties when they undergo prolonged exposure to UV rays. It is especially important for natural fibre garments to be labeled with the NF classification as they must be properly inspected regularly for colour fading.

CLASS R Retroreflective Material Class R Retroreflective material is applied to workwear garments in the form of reflective tape. This material reflects beams of artificial light sources - such as car headlights - directly back to the viewer. This fabric type is essential for night-time garments.

CLASS RF Combined Performance of Class R and Class F Class RF garments combine retroreflective and fluorescent fabrics in their construction. They are garments with reflective tape that meets Class R and Class F meaning, not only does it reflect light back to its source but it also achieves a high visibility rating, similar to a cotton drill shirt. Reflective tape on these garments must fall into the specific colour spaces of yellow, orange and orange/red.

GARMENT CONSTRUCTION

AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 High-visibility safety garments - Part 1: Garments for high-risk applications High-visibility clothing is mandatory safety equipment for road, rail, and other industries with a similarly high-risk level. Safety garments should be worn by people who require visibility at a distance, against complex backgrounds and around conditions that obstruct vision. The AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 standard acknowledges the harsh conditions workwear must protect against and directs how a high-visibility garment is constructed. Construction refers to the garments overall design. For workwear, this specifically means the configuration and amount of two safety materials; fluorescent and retroreflective.

This standard accompanies AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Retroreflective materials and devices for road traffic control purposes - Part 4: High-visibility materials for safety garments. The materials in AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 provide differing levels of visibility depending on the time of the day, amount of light available and what type of light it is - natural or artificial. AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 has outlined what garment construction is safest for day, night and day/night use. Depending on the sites working requirements, personnel need to assess which of the following classifications will provide the best visibility. Below are a few examples of products that would not comply with AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 performance requirements.

Incorrect Fluoro Area

Non-Fluoro Fabrics

Broken Tape

Fluoro area should be no less than 0.2m²

Dyed fabrics must meet chromaticity levels to comply with standards.

Reflective tape must not be broken or have gaps

THE RECOMMENDED TAPE PATTERN - BIOMOTION Biomotion is defined by two hoops around the arms and legs. This tape configuration, although not mandatory, is highly recommended in the AS/NZS standard. There must be a hoop above and below the joint, a knee or elbow joint. A biomotion tape configuration ensures the limb is visible when bent and will increase visibility at a long distance.

CLASS D Day Use

The garment requires a minimum of 0.2m2 of unbroken high-visibility fabric, covering the front and back of the wearer's torso. This section of fabric should not be broken or covered by features such as ID cardholders. Logos, words and pockets can be included but must not infringe on the 0.2m2 of unbroken high-visibility. Likewise, underarm vents that don't meet the colour specification of AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 are not included. Garment material must comply with AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Class F and NF material by meeting the necessary fluorescence levels. Class D garments are not advised to be worn for night-time applications. Fluorescent materials are generally not reflective when exposed to artificial light. Therefore, the garment would pose a risk to the wearer, as stated on the labelling.

CLASS N Night Use

Class N garments are designed only for night-time, where natural light is replaced by artificial light sources such as the fluorescent lights of a warehouse or the headlights of a car. For this reason, unlike Class D garments, Class N garments do not have a specified high-visibility material requirement and can be constructed from white, pink and sky blue fabrics. Night garments instead rely on retroreflective material, reflective tape, which creates enhanced visibility by reflecting artificial light back to its source. It is essential for night worn garments to have an adequate amount of reflective tape placed on the most visible positions of the body - the standard outlines five exact tape configurations to the millimetre, which will ensure maximum visibility. These configurations are commonly referred to as ‘biomotion’, ‘double hoop’, ‘H-pattern’ (back and front) and ‘X-back’ patterns. Due to lack of Class F or Class NF fluorescent material, these garments are not suitable to be used during the day.

CLASS D/N Day / Night Use

Class D/N garments are designed to provide wearer visibility in both day and night-time conditions. These garments combine the requirements of Class D high-visibility fabric with Class N requirements of reflective tape configurations. Like Class D, Class D/N garments must have the same 0.2m2 high-visibility fabric on the front and back torso, compliant to AS/NZS 1904.4:2010 Class F material standards. Class NF fabric can be used instead, with the caveat of reduced high-visibility properties and differing care instructions. High-visibility fabric must also be accompanied by Class R or Class RF reflective tape.

SUN PROTECTION

AS 4399:2020 Sun protective clothing - Evaluation & classification Long days under the harsh Australian sun can be dangerous without the right safety equipment. TRu Garments are UPF50+, reducing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

ULTRAVIOLET PROTECTION FACTOR The Australian standard for sun protective clothing, AS 4399:2020, measures the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). UPF refers to the amount of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that passes through an unstretched dry fabric. This includes both types of UV radiation that reach the Earth's surface; UVA and UVB. UVA rays are more abundant and deeply penetrate the skin with damaging effects such as photoaging. There are around 500 times more UVA rays in sunlight than UVB rays. UVB rays are the most potent contributor to causing skin cancers, responsible for the formation of malignant melanoma.

TESTING PROCEDURE TRu Workwear garments are UPF tested under AS 4399:2020. The UPF testing is carried out at the fabric testing laboratory of ARPANSA or the Australian Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency. ARPANSA's laboratory is accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). These companies issue test reports outlining compliance to the AS 4399:2020 standard. A report will provide the UPF ratings of the materials tested but does not evaluate the design or body coverage of the products. When measuring to the standard, a UPF rating is calculated based on the amount of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) that can pass through a dry unstretched fabric. Wet fabric and the knitted materials create variations in the level of UVR protection on a garment. Denser fabrics with tighter weaves stretch less and therefore offer more robust UVR protection. The standard allows for variations in fabric types on a single garment, such as underarm mesh vents on workwear shirts. However, all fabric used on critical body parts must achieve a UPF rating. The AS 4399:2020 version of the standard specifies three protection classifications, dependent on the amount of UVR blocked as corresponding below: UPF RATING

CLASSIFICATION

Minimum protection

Good protection

50, 50+

Excellent protection

The numerical score is based on the amount of UVR blocked, rated on a scale from 15 to 50+. The highest assigned rating for a UPF rated fabric is 50+. If a fabric blocks 95% of the UV rays - allowing 1/20th of the UV radiation through - it would be assigned a UPF20 rating. If the garment is rated as UPF50+ then it is recorded as letting through less than 1/50 of the radiation that hits the garment, meaning it provides excellent sun protection.

For onsite outdoor activity you require materials with a UPF50+ rating, which is capable of all day sun protection

MINIMAL SKIN EXPOSURE The standard assesses clothing for how well it is constructed to cover the largest area of the body, as explained on the garment's swing tag: “The UPF rating applies only to the area of skin covered. Protection may be reduced if the material is wet, stretched or from the effects of normal wear or exposure to chemicals. For best sun protection use hats, clothing that provides maximum skin coverage, sunglasses, and sunscreen and shade.” Garments can be designed to cover the lower body, upper body or all in one. Each category has specific requirements. For 'upper body' coverage, the garment's sleeves must protrude more than 3/4 of the upper arm (i.e. a singlet would not be sufficient) and include the shoulders and torso. For lower body coverage, pants must cover at least halfway down the thighs, extending from the hip. SPF sunscreen must be applied to areas of the body left exposed by the garment to ensure total protection.

LABELLING The AS 4399:2020 stipulates that all compliant garments be permanently labeled with the following statement: Level of protection - "UPF50+ - Excellent protection" "Maximum skin coverage helps prevent skin damage"

Made for Australian conditions TRu Workwear garments are made for the harsh Australian conditions, with every garment reaching a UPF rating of Excellent 50+. We take sun safety seriously, giving all wearers maximum UV protection and options for heavily vented garments to avoid heat exhaustion.

WOMEN'S FIT Traditionally the solution to a womens workwear garment was to provide a mens cut in a smaller size, a fallacy we believe just doesn't cut it. TRu Workwear Women's Range is designed for the female body, with form-fitting shape that will ensure maximum comfort and support while onsite. These garments are more fitted around the chest and waist, providing more flexibility for the wearer and ultimately a safer solution to baggy clothing.

What is an Arc Flash? An arc flash is an extreme event occurring when working with high voltage (HV), low voltage (LV) and high currents, for operators of complex electrical systems. The cause of an arc flash event is a fault or short circuit condition, which passes through an arc gap. The result is an abrupt and violent surge of explosive energy. This explosive energy is caused by vaporising metal as it transitions from a solid to plasma. The plasma ejected from the arc can reach and exceed temperatures of over 5000ºC. Debris of vaporised metals in the form of molten rock plummets through the air at speeds exceeding 1120km/hr. Additional to intense heat, an arc flash event can produce deafening sound waves of greater than 140dB with pressure waves greater than 13.7 KPa. The effects of this high pressure may leave an operator with burst eardrums or collapsed lungs. An incident occurs when low impedance electrical connections are made across electrical phases, phase to neutral or phase to earth. Crossing phases can result from accidental contact across terminals from a contact point with tools and equipment. Likewise, a build-up of contaminants such as carbon or dust and a breakdown in installation can cause this event. Operators are at most risk of experiencing an incident when conducting high-risk activities such as racking circuit breakers. Unfortunately, arc flash can occur at any time. It is generally assumed that arc flash only occurs in high voltage situations, but low voltage installations also bring risk due to longer fault clearing times involved in the clearing of high prospective energy level faults. The amount of exposure a person can experience is expressed in terms of incident energy and measured in units of calories/cm2. Arc flash is a potentially fatal hazard that can otherwise result in serious injury. Clothing that is not fire retardant will ignite, leaving the wearer with severe burns, potentially leading to fatality. Thus, any workwear and additional safety equipment must be tested and comply with stringent safety standards.

Flash Fire?

A flash fire, on the other hand, is a sudden, intense fire caused by the ignition of a mixture of air and a dispersed flammable substance such as a solid (including dust), flammable or combustible liquid (such as an aerosol or fine mist), or flammable gas. It is characterised by high temperature, short duration, and a rapidly moving flame front without the production of damaging pressure, which is the key difference between a flash fire and an arc flash.

101

TECHNOLOGY

Parvotex Fabric Parvotex is uncompromised protection against unforeseen open electric arc incidents and flash fire events. No other FR fabric can boast high levels of fire resistance alongside superior comfort and breathability. This all stems from the yarn composition, with our Parvotex fabric boasting a 32% cotton content blended with Kaneka and Kururay Vectran®, the perfect solution for Australia's hot and humid climate.

Inherent Fire Resistance Inherent FR fabric consists of innately flame resistant fibres. Fabrics made from these fibres do not go through the coating processes of a treated FR fabric, which imparts flame resistance to the fabrics otherwise flammable fibres. Inherent fabrics are the opposite of treated fabrics, as their fire-resistant properties lie within the woven fibres that come together to form the fabric. Inherent fabrics will retain their fire-retardant properties for the garments entire useful life. FR properties will not wear or diminish over time, providing washing instructions are adhered to, and contaminants are avoided. Longstanding performance imparts peace of mind to the wearer, as they are assured the garment they purchased on day one, will continue to perform in the same manner throughout its wearable life. The inherent fire retardant properties of our Parvotex fabric stem from the 50% modacrylic content. Modacrylic is a dimensionally stable, soft and resilient fibre that is self-extinguishing and non-combustible, a genuinely remarkable synthetic co-polymer.

Parvotex Breathability With a 32% cotton content, Parvotex fabric offers a more breathable and comfortable alternative to traditionally hot and heavy flame retardant garments. This reduced fabric weight and additional breathability ensure less wearer fatigue, a more consistent body temperature and most importantly, wearer comfort during all-day shifts. This is the reason Parvotex remains a market leader in the flame retardant workwear space.

PARVOTEX FABRIC Parvotex Fabric is free from harmful chemicals achieving certification to Oeko-tex® Standard 100 Product Class II, which is awarded to articles with direct contact to the skin joining the same category as products like underwear, bed linen, T-shirts etc.

Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex® Certified according to annex 4 Product Class: II - 20150K0955 Institute Type of certified article - Woven or knitted fabric made of below materials or part of them: dyed modacrylic, cotton and polyamide, and white polyarylate, and mixtures with white SPS (Sulfonyl Polyphenylene Sulfide), Meta-aramide, Lenzing LyocellTM, or Conductive nylon or polyester dope dyed (white, black or grey), with or without spandex; laminated with PU membranes; with/without water/oil/stain repellent finish.

KEY ADVANTAGES OF INHERENT FABRICS Self-extinguishing

Durable

Comfortable

Parvotex is a self-extinguishing fabric and the critical component of any flame retardant garment. By definition, when the ignition source is removed, these fabrics do not catch alight; instead, the flame is extinguished, drastically reducing overall body burns to wearers.

Because the garments flame retardant properties stem from the fibres in the yarn and high-visibility colourfastness is established at this level, they do not diminish over the products long lifespan. The fabric withstands high levels of abrasive activity without tearing or pilling. Bool workwear garments are tested to retain these properties after a series of industrial washing cycles.

Parvotex fabric has a cotton content of 32% and is ultra-comfortable, eliminating and removing the stiffness and heaviness of traditional flame retardant garments. The high cotton content also makes the yarn highly breathable, which is essential in the harsh Australian working conditions.

PARVOTEX® FIBRE CONSTRUCTION Modacrylic (50%)

Cotton (32%)

The modacrylic fibre is a synthetic co-polymer. It is soft, strong, resilient and dimensionally stable and is perfect for garment construction being easily dyed, showing good press and shape retention, and quick to dry. Amongst other properties, modacrylic fibres have outstanding resistance to chemicals and solvents, are not attacked by moths or mildew, and are non-allergenic.

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fibre that grows in a boll around the seeds of the cotton plants. The fibre is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile. The addition of cotton in the Parvotex® fibre ensures that Bool garments are perfectly suitable for Australia's harsh hot conditions, being highly breathable and flexible.

Modacrylic is also flame retardant and does not combust, meaning it is difficult to ignite and will self-extinguish - the essential component of Parvotex® yarn.

Carbon (1%) Carbon within the Parvotex® fabric adds anti-static properties, which hinder the build-up of static in the garment. Carbon strength and stiffness with outstanding fatigue properties. Carbon also outperforms against high temperature and chemical inertness.

Polyamide (Kaneka) (9%) Polyamides are synthetics fibres and are characterised by high tensile strength and excellent resistance to wear and impact. They are stable to the action of many chemical reagents and biochemical agents, and they have an affinity to many dyes. Polyamide fibres are highly elastic, have low humidity absorption capabilities, and are fast drying.

Polyarylate (Kururay Vectran) (8%) Polyarylate is five times stronger than steel, a high-performance multi-filament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer. This fibre gives the garment high strength and additional dimensional stability and offers cut/shear resistance, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, and added electrical insulation.

STANDARDS

123

ELECTRICAL WORK - PPE

NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace (2018) Australia has adopted the US Standard for arc rated protection NFPA 70E. This standard was developed in conjunction with US federal agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), by the Standards Council of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It has since been incorporated by Australian safety organisations such as the Australian Energy Council into arc flash guidelines for Australian sites. The NFPA 70E standard is divided into sections covering safety-related work practices, maintenance requirements, special equipment and installation requirements. Within these sections are tools for meeting NFPA benchmark requirements, including assessment methods, guidelines and work permits, each stipulating precautionary practices that require implementation when working around industrial electrical equipment. Perhaps most importantly, NFPA 70E specifies the required levels of arc rated protection needed for PPE when performing tasks with estimated incident energy exposures.

RISK ASSESSMENT The NFPA 70E outlines the procedures of crucial risk assessments conducted for personnel working around or directly on live parts of energised electrical equipment. Among the risk assessments outlined in NFPA 70E are the 'Arc flash risk assessment' and a 'Shock risk assessment'. Assessments should be undertaken when any modifications or renovations are made to the environment and at intervals that don't exceed five years. An assessment must take into account the design of the energised device, its machine requirements and any changes made or that are planned to be made to the power source configuration or transformer size. The arc flash risk assessment will determine the Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) response to the presence of an arc flash hazard. An 'Incident Energy Analysis' will determine the arc flash boundary, safety-related work practices, and the necessary PPE to be worn around certain distances from the energised object. During this analysis, the incident energy is calculated and used as a critical component of an arc flash risk assessment.

INCIDENT ENERGY ANALYSIS METHOD Incident energy (also referred to as heat flux) is the amount of energy that reaches an individual or surface at a distance from an arc during an arc fault. It is measured and expressed in calories/cm2 (or joules/cm2). Generally, the factors contributing to high incident energy are; higher fault current, longer protection clearing time and shorter distances from the arc. The onset of second-degree burns is likely to occur at an exposure of 1.2 cal/cm2 (5 J/cm2) of fault incident energies for one second, a significant threshold for arc fault management. The incident energy is calculated and used as a critical component of an arc flash risk assessment. The method outlined in NFPA 70E Annex D is the 'Incident energy and arc flash boundary calculation method'. This method predicts the incident energy of an arc flash for a specified set of conditions. These conditions and factors include the voltage, duration of the arc (cycles), nature of the enclosure and distance from the arc to personnel operating. The incident energy exposure level is devised from the distance of the workers face and chest areas, from the arc-source where work is being performed. When calculating the incident energy, the nature of the tool and its assumed properties are considered. Further considerations include whether calculations were made for 'open air' or 'arc in a box', single or multi-phase, voltage limitations and type of equipment/protection.

BOUNDARIES Another contributing factor to the assignment of appropriate PPE is the 'Arc flash boundary'. These boundaries are drawn around energised equipment and define what PPE should be worn within certain boundaries. The boundaries are set based on the amount of incident energy the worker would be exposed to during a potential arc flash, determining the level of PPE recommended. Arc flash incident energy calculation method is used to determine the appropriate boundaries around energised equipment. Specific voltage ranges stipulate the area of which 'restricted' approach boundary ends and the 'limited' approach boundary begins. Limited: a qualified person must always be present supervising any personnel entering this boundary area. Restricted approach boundaries: no qualified personnel shall approach this area or take an conductive object closer to the exposed energized electrical area.

124

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) CATEGORIES Hazard Risk Category (HRC) system was removed as of the 2015 versions of the NFPA 70E standard. Arc rated protection was classified with a rating from 1 to 3. The HRC has since been replaced with the 'Incident energy analysis method' or the Arc Flash PPE Category Method 130.7(c) (15). This revision was made to specify the recommendations for PPE used when working within the arc flash boundary. PPE Categories are defined by the garment's arc rating. The arc rating of a garment is determined using standardised test methods, most commonly ASTM F1959/ F1959M. The arc rating represents the level of incident energy a garments' fabric can withstand before the wearer may develop second-degree burns (see ASTM F1959/F1959M). It is recommended in Australia that the PPE category method is used in lieu of an incident energy analysis, as stated in the Australian Energy Council's Electrical Arc Flash Hazard Management Guideline. Nonetheless, the two work in unison and an incident energy analysis result are transferred easily to a PPE category. The assessments form a system that aids safety officers and workers in selecting the

PPE CATEGORY 1 (PPE1) MINIMUM 4 CAL/CM2

PPE CATEGORY 2 (PPE2) MINIMUM 8 CAL/CM2

PPE CATEGORY 3 (PPE 3) MINIMUM 25 CAL/CM2

PPE CATEGORY 4 (PPE 4) MINIMUM 40 CAL/CM2

appropriate PPE for tasks that involve an arc flash risk. Each category has a minimum arc rating that the garment must meet, as measured in cal/cm2. Other PPE requirements accompany these: PPE Category 0

ARC FLASH RATING

ASTM F1959/F1959M Test Method for Determining the Arc Rating of Materials for Clothing ASTM F1959/F1959M is an internationally recognised test method for determining an 'arc rating' or 'Arc Thermal Performance Value' (ATPV) of a material, or combination of materials, intended to construct a flame-resistant garment. The results from the ASTM F1959/F1959M test method will detail the fabric samples material proprieties when exposed to convective and radiant energy generated by an electric arc.

The ASTM F1959/F1959M test method takes a fabric sample, placing it vertically while remaining flat with no other movements. The sample is exposed to convective and radiant energy generated by an electric arc. A heat-sensitive sensor is set to specified exposure conditions. These conditions may produce different results. Additionally, the test sample may be tested to other conditions representative of expected onsite hazards. If these tests are conducted they will be recorded on the products test report, detailing the performance results.

less than 150mm (6 inches) char length burn for less than 2 seconds after flame is extinguished when tested in accordance with test method D6413 Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles The results of this test method produce an arc rating either expressed as an Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy Breakopen Threshold (EBT) or both. Which test method used will be indicated in brackets next to arc rating indication, e.g. arc rating (ATPV) = X cal/cm2. Both ratings can appear on the report, but only the lowest value is accepted as the arc rating, according to ASTM F1506 specifications.

For the material to be tested using the ASTM F1959/F1959M test method, it must: be intended to be worn as protective workwear against arc flash

ARC RATING (ATPV) X CAL/CM2

ARC RATING (EBT) X CAL/CM2

HEAT ATTENUATION FACTOR (HAF) 126

The Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) is an arc rating and is expressed in kW.s/m2 or cal/cm2. An ATPV value is an important indication of a fabrics ability to protect an individual from a second-degree burn due to incident energy from an arc flash event. The ATPV records the point at which there is a 50% chance of heat transferring through the garment's fabric, reaching the temperature required for the onset of second-degree burns (based on the Stoll Curve). The fabric must not break open before reaching this threshold.

Instead of reaching the threshold of onset second-degree burns with the fabric intact, particular test fabrics will develop breakopens or holes. A breakopen is defined by an open area of at least 1.6 cm2 (0.5 in2). If the test fabric is recorded as Energy Breakopen Threshold (EBT), the fabric breaks open before the wearer begins to develop second-degree burns. Therefore, arc rated fabrics with an ATPV value will allow burns before the fabric will break open.

Furthermore, the test method is used to determine a Heat Attenuation Factor (HAF), the percentage of total heat blocked by the fabric from reaching the sensor. In electric arc fault testing, this is the percentage of incident energy that is blocked by a material at an incident energy level equal to the ATPV. The test method is limited to electric arc flash that would generate incident energy or heat flux rates from 84 to 3,505 kW/m2 [2 to 600 cal/cm2]. The test is not used to assess non-flame resistant materials. However, layers of a multilayered flame resistant fabric sample can be tested using this standard. The method also excludes electrical contact or electrical shock hazards.

ELECTRIC ARC

IEC 61482 Protective Clothing Against the Thermal Hazards of an Electric Arc The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) released IEC 61482, a standard that provides performance requirements and regulates test methods for protective clothing against thermal hazards of an electric arc. This standard is of paramount importance to all arc flash PPE. The first section of the standard is separated into two parts, each outlining a test that provides different garments properties. A garment can be tested to both test methods. Which standard the garment is tested to is indicated by the standards section number as listed below: EN 61482-1-1 Open Arc Test Method EN 61482-1-2 Box Test Method

EN 61482-1-1 OPEN ARC TEST

The Open Arc test method is used to determine the arc rating of an FR fabric. The arc rating is expressed as either Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV) or Energy Breakopen Threshold (EBT50) in cal/cm2 (calories of heat energy per square centimetre). It is an alternative test to ASTM F1959/F1959M for calculating an arc rating. The Stoll Curve monitors heat and energy transfer rate alongside the rate observed when the garment fabric is used as protection. The result enables a prediction of the point at which the wearer would feel pain, as supported by the Stoll curve. As of the 2018 version of this standard, garments are also tested and given an Energy Limit Value (ELIM) which complements the ATPV and EBT values for Open arc test. Instead of calculating the incident energy, the garment can withstand before a 50% chance of an onset second-degree burn (like the ATPV test of ASTM F1959/F1959M); EN61482-1-1 calculates the energy level of exposure reached for a 0% probability of second-degree burns. For this reason, ELIM is a more conservative estimation.

EN 61482-1-2 BOX TEST

EN 61482-1-2, also referred to as the 'Box test' method, is conducted using a plaster box that focuses a short arc toward a rectangular-shaped test sample of the FR fabric placed in a flat configuration. A quantitative measurement is made by means of the energy transmitted through the material. The standard specifications for this setup is a voltage of 400V, Duration 500ms and a frequency: 50 Hz or 60Hz. Garments are tested to either class 1 or class 2 or both. Electric arc intensity is stipulated as follows: Arc Protection Classes

Arc Rating

Class 1

Protection against electric arc 4kA (168kJ)

Class 2

Protection against electric arc 7kA (320kJ)

The EN 61482-1-2 gives a pass or fail result. To pass this test the garment must: Show no evidence of melting through the inner side Afterflame less than or equal to 5 seconds No hole larger than 5mm in any direction All 8 value pairs in testing must be below the Stoll curve Dependant on the results, the garment will receive either a pass or fail if it has reached or exceeded the Arc protection class rating class benchmarks.

AGAINST HEAT & FLAME

EN ISO 11612:2015 Clothing to Protect Against Heat & Flame EN ISO 11612:2015 outlines the test methods that lay the minimum performance requirements for protective workwear constructed from flexible materials, intended to protect the wearer's body (excluding hands) from heat and flame. The standard applies to protective clothing claiming to protect while conducting industry applications, which pose risk of radiant heat, convective or contact heat or exposure to splatters of molten metal (aluminium or iron). This standard replaces EN 531 which has been formally withdrawn by European Standards. However, the pictogram has remained the same.

EN 11612

EN ISO 11612:2015 lists and categorizes safety hazards that are the result of heat and flame risks. With each of these hazard categories, three performance levels denote if exposure to low, medium or high risks can be withstood. For radiant heat, there is a fourth level which considers protection against extreme exposure to heat from high-performance materials such as aluminised materials.

LETTER A LIMITED FLAME SPREAD

The two tests conducted for letter A - A1 and A2 - are performed following EN ISO 15025:2016 Protective Clothing - Protection against flame - Method of test for limited flame spread. These test methods dictate procedures for determining flame spread as a result of surface or bottom-edge ignition. It measures the effects of the sample fabric on heat exposure against specified set tolerances.

A1- SURFACE IGNITION Surface ignition is tested by applying the flame horizontally and measuring flame spread. For fabrics to meet A1 requirements, they must demonstrate a mean afterflame and afterglow time of less than two seconds. The fabric sample must not generate flaming or molten debris. Additionally, there should be no hole formation of greater than 5mm evident on the sample, excluding inner-lining specifically for other forms of protection.

A2- EDGE IGNITION Edge ignition tests are conducted by applying the flame laterally to the fabric sample. Likewise, the sample must not create flaming or molten debris and must demonstrate a mean afterflame and afterglow time of less than two seconds. The flame must not reach upper or vertical edges.

LETTER B CONVECTIVE HEAT

128

A garments outer surface that does not ignite can still cause the wearer damage through the heat that forms when the wearer comes in contact with the flame. A convective heat test, conducted in accordance with EN ISO 9151:2016, measures the heat that passes through the garment when in contact with flame. The fabric is exposed to a flame. The time it takes for the topside of the sample to reach 24°C is measured with a calorimeter and used to assign a number value.

LETTER C RADIANT HEAT

LETTER D MOLTEN ALUMINIUM SPLASH

LETTER E MOLTEN IRON SPLASH

LETTER F CONTACT HEAT

Radiant heat can put a wearer at risk of injury even at a low temperature if exposed over long periods. Testing garments to EN ISO 6942:2002 involves two complementary methods of determining how the material of a garment will behave when subjected to heat radiation. During the test, a fabric sample is exposed to radiant heat or infrared rays, while the temperature of the materials unexposed side is measured using a calorimeter. Similar to the convective heat test, the duration for the fabric taken to reach 24°C is recorded, and the results translated into a 1-4 performance rating.

The heat penetration resistance of a fabric intended to protect the wearer from large splashes of molten metals is measured and judged using the test method EN ISO 9185:2007. Within this standard, performance levels are set in terms of the mass of iron and aluminium that can be splashed onto a test sample without producing damage to the heat sensor film. To achieve a D level performance rating, the garment must prevent the wearer from coming into contact with molten aluminium splashes of a minimum weight of 100 grams.

Molten Iron is also classified amongst the wide range of hot molten metals that can potentially penetrate clothing, as tested using the EN ISO 9185:2007 test method. The amount of molten iron the garment fabric can protect against is given a performance level from 1-3.

The fabrics protection against direct contact with hot substances or hot surfaces is determined using ISO 12127:1996. The test observes the heat transferred between a heated cylinder and the fabric sample when brought close together. An extensive range of potential conditions and hazards can arise with exposure to high contact heat. However, the test method indicates how well the fabric sample will protect the wearer from contact temperatures within 100°C and 500°C.

AGAINST FLASH FIRE

NFPA 2112:2018 Flame-Resistant Garments for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short-Duration Thermal Exposure from Fire NFPA 2112:2018 is a US standard developed by the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) that lays minimum requirements for the design, construction, evaluation, testing requirements and certification of an FR garment. It addresses both the garment as a whole and its components, including the garment's fabric. Compliance with this standard assures industrial personal that the fire-retardant garment will protect the wearer against unexpected flash fire events.

NFPA 2112:2018 aims to provide a specified level of protection that will reduce the severity of burn injuries. The performance requirements are applied to flameresistant garments not limited to jackets and coveralls but also flame retardant garments shrouds/hoods/balaclavas and gloves. A garment that complies with NFPA 2112:2018 has met all specific benchmarks and levels, as stipulated by the NFPA to be necessary for an FR garment. The 2018 updates of this standard refer to flash fire as short-duration thermal exposure from fire, the term including vapour cloud fires, jet flames, liquid fires, solids fires, and warehouse fires.

ASTM F1930

THE OVEN TEST

For a garment to comply with NFPA 2112:2018, the 'Manikin test' or ASTM F1930:2018 must be conducted using the garments fabric. The results from the manikin test must meet the benchmark stipulated by the NFPA. For the garment's fabric to pass, the material must withstand three seconds of propane fire with at least 50% or less damage to the manikin's surface. Three seconds is the upper limit of the duration of a flash fire. The percentage from the average of three replications of test exposure represents the body burn. The body burn average will indicate either a pass or fail, dependent on whether it meets the NFPA 2112:2018 50% body burn benchmark.

The garments fabric, as well as its zippers or reflective tape, are placed in an oven. During this time, the fabric must exhibit no melting, dripping, separation or ignition for an oven exposure of five minutes at 500°F (260°C).

ASTM D6413 ASTM D6413, commonly referred to as the 'Vertical flame' test, is a significant standard used to prove a fabric is flame-resistant. A rectangular strip of test fabric is placed vertically in an enclosed chamber. A flame is placed underneath the strip. The strip is exposed for 12 seconds. From the fabric test strip, two factors are measured; A fterflame: the duration of time the strip continues to burn after the 12-second mark when the flame is shut off Char length: the break in the fabric due to charing or blackening of the fabric's surface Specific standards stipulate different times and lengths for these factors NFPA 2112:2018 stipulates: a maximum of 2 seconds afterflame a maximum of 4 inches (10.16cm) of char length The test is repeated five times to develop a char length average. This is a pass/fail criteria for NFPA 2112:2018.

130

LABELLING NFPA 2112:2018 outlines strict labelling instructions. On the label of compliant garments, the mark of a third-party certifier must be clearly visible. Alongside this mark, must be the following text: This Flame Resistant Garment meets the requirements of NFPA 2112, Standard for Flame Resistant garments for protection of Industrial Personnel against shortduration Thermal Exposure from fire. NOTE: slight differences in the wording of this phrase may indicate the garments non-compliance.

FIRE PROTECTION

ASTM F1930 Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Flame-Resistant Clothing for Protection Against Fire Simulations Using an Instrumented Manikin Test method used to measure flame resistance of a material, garment or clothing ensemble/systems when exposed to a specified fire. This test method is commonly referred to as the 'manikin test'. It is important to note that the ASTM F1930 standard outlines a test method and does not include benchmarks or performance requirements. These can be found within other standards. Instead, the aim is to ensure results from different testing laboratories are comparable.

The ASTM F1930 test method predicts the potential human skin burn injury possible for a single-layered garment or clothing ensemble. The test is conducted under laboratory conditions, with a manikin wearing the garment or clothing ensemble. Layered shirt combinations could also be tested using this method. The measurements gathered using the ASTM F1930 test method can only apply to the specific sample tested for the heat flux, flame distribution and duration specifications set during the test. Standards that refer to and use this test method stipulate these specifications and benchmark results. Standards to refer to and incorporate the ASTM F1930 include NFPA 2733 Standard Specifications for Flame-Resistant Rainwear for Protection Against Flame Hazards and NFPA 2112:2018 Standard on Flame-Resistant Clothing for Protection of Industrial Personnel Against Short Duration Thermal Exposures for Fire. Therefore, when the ASTM F1930:2018 test is conducted, it is done using the specifications outlined within the above standards. To perform the ASTM F1930 test method, a manikin, propane burners and a coverall constructed out of the test fabric is required. To simulate a flash fire eight propane burners surround the manikin at approximately equal distances. The test manikin is installed with over 100 thermocouples or heat sensors distributed uniformly around its surface. During the simulation flash fire exposure, these thermocouples will measure the depth or intensity of the heat that travels through the fabric.

A calculation is made to predict the extent, severity and location of second and third-degree body burns; the result a percentage. This percentage represents the area of the body that would burn if an arc flash event of such conditions occurred. It is commonly referred to as the 'body burn percentage' and is visualised as a body burn silhouette, seen below. A body burn percentage of 50% or less is required for compliance to NFPA 2112:2016. ASTM F1930 test reports may also include a record of optical and physical changes to the test samples. This information aids in the overall understanding of the garment's performance in protecting the human skin from burn injuries. These observations indicate the properties of the garment. For example, the absence of char from the inner garments may indicate the test garments ability to provide insulation from the flash fire hazard. This example would otherwise be evident in a low body burn percentage, where other observations may not. Other observations include: Afterflame: the garment supports combustion with the presence of flames after the flash fire blast Garment degradation: broken or busted seams Carbonization: occurs when the garment is orange peeled, sometimes, the garment also gets darker Shrinkage: Some garments may acquire vertical and/or radial shrinkage Dye sublimation: where the garment has changed colour from blue dyes to pink

The manikin is wearing a coverall constructed out of the test fabric. The testing fabric is to be sewn using the coverall pattern dictated by the ASTM F1930 standard. Some standards like NFPA 2112:2018 stipulate this is to be a pattern for a size 42 regular. Underneath the coverall is a 100% cotton T-shirt and briefs. Char marks on these inner garments will be examined and noted to assist in evaluating the body burn average.

FRONT

Upon completing a simulation, the data from the thermocouples and physical assessment from the flash fire simulation are analysed alongside the theoretical skin burn model. This model is derived from predictions made using data from experiments in which human test subjects were exposed to elevated levels of thermal conditions on their forearms. The rate of forearm burning was then applied to the entire body (except the hands and feet) to predict the likelihood of burns.

REAR

During a flash fire simulation, eight propane burners expose the manikin to flames of 84 kW/m2 (2 cal/s cm2) with a typical duration of 3 seconds but can also reach 20 seconds, dependent on the benchmarks from other standards, like those mentioned above.

ELECTROSTATIC

EN 1149:2008 Protective Clothing with Electrostatic Properties EN 1149:2008 is a European standard for safety garments protecting wearers against electrostatic discharge in working environments with explosive risks. Such environments are sometimes referred to as ATEX Environments, as per the two European directives for controlling explosive atmospheres. Materials tested using the tests methods outlined in EN 1149:2008 indicate safe electrical discharge properties when posed with the conditions of explosive environments. Bool produces anti-static clothing made with materials engineered to suppress static charge, thereby preventing sparks, which might cause a fire or explosions. Such clothing can be worn in oxygen-enriched environments; however, it does not protect against electric shocks.

Garments intended to be used in explosive environments must not conduct electrostatic charges from the air. EN 1149:2008 is divided into five parts: Test Method

EN 1149-3 CHARGE DECAY

132

This test method measures surface resistivity by determining how the fabric surface resists the dissipation of a charge. This test ensures that the charge will not develop to the point where it can generate a spark. The determined surface resistance of the fabric is to be 2.5x109 Ohms (Ω) or less. This method is not appropriate for core conductive fibres. A material is either tested to EN 1149-1 (Surface resistance) or EN 1149-3 (Charge decay) as these tests measure two aspects of the same property.

The second part of this standard outlines procedures to measure the vertical resistance of the material sample. Vertical resistance refers to the tendency of the fabric to allow charge to pass through the thickness of the material. It is primarily used to test heavier weight fabrics that are woven. It is not used to specify protection against mains voltage. Electrical resistance must be greater than 105W to pass this test.

The EN 1149-3 test reveals the ability of the garment's fabric to dissipate electrostatic charge from across its' surface. This process ensures that the material discharges any electrostatic charges to the air and will not conduct it to the users clothing, therefore eliminating the risk of conductivity for the wearer and the risk of a potential explosion.

EN 1149-4

Part 4 of the standard is yet to be formally published. It was originally outlined as a testing method for the garment in its entirety.

GARMENT TEST METHODS

EN 1149-5 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

EN 1149-5 draws upon the results of tests conducted in parts 1 to 3 to develop performance requirements for an anti-static garment. They may be tested according to the appropriate test methods outlined in parts 1 to 3, but can only be certified to part 5, after meeting stipulated performance requirements. For FR garments which are worn by electrical workers and other industries working with fire, this clause is specifically focused on the overall garment construction, ensuring that the amount of fabrics, reflective tape and other components are assembled for maximum safety performance. To be compliant to part 5 of EN 1149 the garment must also display the following information on the 'User Instructions:' a warning that the garment must be earthed to allow grounding of a charge should not be opened or removed in an explosive atmosphere clothing is suitable for wearing in ATEX Zones 1, 2, 20, 21 & 22 but that use in Zone 0 or in oxygen enriched atmospheres should be authorized by a qualified safety engineer. NOTE - Clothing constructed to this standard are only classified as safe workwear in environments with explosion hazards if they are accompanied by compliance to standards for flame retardant clothing (e.g. EN ISO 11612 or EN ISO 531).

133

OXYGEN

ASTM D2863-2013 Oxygen Index ASTM D2863 outlines the standard test for measuring the minimum Oxygen Concentration to Support Candle-Like Combustion, referred to as the Limited Oxygen Index (LOI). This value has differing roles in the development and assessment of FR fibres. It is used to characterise the fibres, polymers, textiles and other material components. As this is a test method alone, it is essential to judge the resulting value in light of performance requirements from other standards for specific garments.

Defines the oxygen level needed for the test material to support combustion. It is important to note that this test method is used on various plastic-based materials, products, or assemblies. It measures and describes their response to heat and flame under controlled conditions. The test method involves three procedures: Procedure A: Top surface ignition Procedure B: Propagating ignition Procedure C: Minimum value of oxygen index The Limited Oxygen Index (LOI) value is measured in SI base units and expressed as the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere to support combustion. LOI does not indicate the behaviour of fabric in regards to liquid metal or metal droplets from welding. The test is performed regularly within the research and development process of blended fabric engineering, especially those intended for constructing an FR garment. When calculating blend ratios between certain fibers - cotton and modacrylic - to achieve an LOI that lies over 25%, performing this test will aid engineers in the fine-tuning process, to factor in an indication of fibre combustibility. The resulting value of this test LOI is often used as an indicator for whether the garment's fabric will support combustion. However, an LOI must be put into context when assessing an FR garment and not be used as a sole source of judgment. The LOI is just one piece of data that informs an accurate fire hazard assessment of the materials or products. It is essential to consider this value in light of other considerations which contribute to whether the garment will support combustion. Therefore, the results from this test should be used in conjunction with other standard tests for an accurate assessment of fire hazard.

134

The below table indicates industry estimations of what LOI percentage would support the best performance for an FR fabric. However, it is unproven whether fabric with an LOI of 45% provides a significant leap in safety compared to a fabric with an LOI of 28%. Liquid Oxygen Index (LOI)

GARMENT CARE

LAUNDERING High-visibility and Flame Retardant Laundering Instructions As stated in AS/NZS 4602.1.2011 High-visibility Safety Garments, washing and industrial laundering can diminish the high-visibility properties of workwear garments

SAFETY INSPECTION Safety officers and workers should regularly check for garment fading, tearing, dirt/ soiling, busted seams or other damaged garment components. When garments undergo industrial washing, ensure that high-visibility colour standards are upheld, and garments are left unscathed by these cycles. Garments should be analysed and examined for the above damages every three months to maintain safety. Regular clothing inspections are a common means of performing these checks.

LABELLING AS/NZS 1905.4.2010 stipulates that accurate care labelling is displayed clearly on every garment in a format that follows AS/NZS 1957:1998 Textiles - Care Labelling, a uniform system of care labelling. The standard states that labels must convey the correct care information as dictated by the manufacturer. Labelling is often the primary source for garment care instructions.

WASHING TIPS When home laundering, the following are simple tips you can remember to ensure your garment maintains its structural integrity: ash garments inside out to prevent the fabric around the seams and trims W from fraying during abrasive laundering. L arge quantities of fabric softeners should be avoided on all garments with retroreflective materials. The chemical compounds in fabric softeners can damage reflective tapes. F ollow the washing instructions written on the clothing tags. Generally store garments in dry, cool areas away from heat and direct sunlight, which may cause fading.

FR Workwear Laundering Instructions If FR clothing is washed incorrectly, that is all contaminants are not removed during the washing process, this will result in the compromise of the garment's flame-resistant properties. For this reason, effectively cleaning and maintaining garments properly must factor laundering, repair, and replacement to protect FR properties. In Australia the AS/NZS ISO 2801:2008 (R2016) Standard for protection against heat and flame - General recommendations for selection, care and use of protective clothing, outlines the necessary treatment of FR clothing. ASTM International guide home and industrial laundering within the following two primary standards: ASTM F1449 Guide for Individual Laundering of Flame, Thermal and Arc Resistant Clothing, covers maintenance of garments by industrial laundries.

GARMENT CARE

CUSTOM WORKWEAR Despite stringent safety requirements; not all workwear has to look the same. Custom workwear is gear made for your crew's unique needs. TRu Workwear will design and manufacture your company's workwear with a range of branding and tailoring options.

CUSTOM CONSTRUCTED GARMENTS A diverse range of onsite conditions requires a custom designed garment. Although there are strict safety standards that all Australian workwear must adhere to, variations in tape configurations, high-visibility fabric types, and colours are necessary for certain conditions. When making alterations to the design or construction of a garment, compliance to AS/NZS safety standards must remain. With an in-depth knowledge of all standards, TRu Workwear guarantees that all custom constructed garments remain compliant with safety standards. TRu Workwear custom design and manufacture workwear with features like the following:

Retro-reflective & Fluorescent Fabrics Garments compliant to AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 Class RF that combine the performance of Class R and Class F for high-visibility fabrics

Fabric Colours As stipulated in AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 a certain level of high-visibility fabric is required to be safe; however other dyes, colours and patterns are permissible for garment areas that are not required to use high-visibility fabrics.

Tape Configuration Depending on your jobsite, extra visibility may be required during night hours. Adding retroreflective tape in areas such as the lower back will increase night-time visibility when bending down to work.

MADE TO MEASURE Safe workwear, is workwear that fits. Having extended sleeves needing constant adjustment or pants which drag along the floor all pose safety hazards in the workplace. For unique physical requirements, TRu offers tailoring services that ensure everyone onsite receives workwear with an optimal fit for comfort and safety.

140

PRIVATE BRANDING TRu Workwear deploys advanced embroidery equipment featuring multi-coloured thread options for the highest quality embroidered finish. Be recognisable onsite. Adding a logo or company emblem to your workwear shirts, trousers or jackets is a clear cut company signifier. Your work onsite can then reflect your brand principles. Help people connect the dots with workwear that aids brand recognition. According to AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 the surface area of a logo must be in addition to 0.2m2 of high-visibility fabric. This is outlined in the standard as follows: The following should be deducted from the total area of the upper torso material - area of words, logos, pockets or underarm ventilation gussets that does not qualify as background material
