For the clothing to work effectively, it must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be worn as a complete set (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-workwear\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic-jackets\/\">anti-static jackets<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-workwear\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic-trousers\/\">anti-static trousers<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cover all non-compliant layers underneath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be used in conjunction with <strong>anti-static footwear <\/strong>or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) accessories like gloves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In sectors dealing with dual hazards (e.g. electrical work and flammable substances), anti-static clothing is often <strong>combined with flame-resistant materials<\/strong> to meet both protection needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Anti-Static Workwear Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Static electricity is generated when two surfaces rub together\u2014common in workplaces involving friction, synthetic materials, or movement. If discharged in a high-risk zone, this can result in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Electrical sparks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fires<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explosions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Equipment failure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anti-static garments reduce this risk by:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preventing charge build-up on the garment&#8217;s surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Allowing the charge to flow safely to ground<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintaining controlled resistance levels in line with <strong>EN 1149-5<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Modern <strong>anti-static flame retardant workwear<\/strong> also protects against <strong>secondary hazards<\/strong>, such as arc flash, through dual-layer construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Arc Flash Safety?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An <strong>arc flash<\/strong> is a sudden, high-energy electrical discharge caused by a fault in an electrical system. Temperatures can exceed <strong>19,000\u00b0C<\/strong>, creating blasts powerful enough to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Melt clothing and metal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cause fatal burns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project molten material and pressure waves<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Arc-rated PPE (AR\/FR clothing)<\/strong> is tested to withstand these forces and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-workwear\/flame-retardant-workwear\/flame-retardant-jackets\/\">Flame retardant jackets<\/a> and trousers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lindstromgroup.com\/uk\/services\/industrial-workwear\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic\/electrical-arc-flash-and-antistatic-overalls\/\">Arc-flash overalls<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protective balaclavas and visors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you work with live electricity or in substations, <strong>IEC 61482-2 compliant clothing<\/strong> is essential.
