Recommended Undergarments
Undergarment selection will depend on the task at hand, and on the prevailing climatic
conditions.
If the employer’s safety assessment has identified extreme temperature hazards, such
as a high or low temperature environment or the potential for workers to come into
contact with hot or cold surfaces or liquids, then additional undergarments or thermal
undergarments may be required to provide further protection and comfort for the worker.
This is particularly relevant to users of AlphaTec
®
blue FR clothing with Nomex
®
fiber,
where arc flash and/or fire hazards have been identified in the safety assessment.
