Tingley Rubber Corporation has introduced a line of flame resistant, high visibility apparel called: Job Sight FR. It is meant to protect electric utility workers. Other industries that need dual high visibility and FR protection include construction, waste management, telecommunications, transportation and petrochemicals. For over 115 years, US-based Tingley Rubber has been a leader in protective footwear and clothing.

Non flame-resistant high visibility garments such as vests worn over flame-resistant garments can dramatically decrease the effectiveness and protection of flame resistant clothing. It’s important for workers’ protection that the high visibility products conform to the same standards as their flame resistant clothing. In many cases the new Job Sight FR line can replace traditional FR work wear with a product that is both flame resistant and has high visibility, reducing the need for a worker to wear both.

The new Job Sight FR line consists of products that are developed with a revolutionary blend of 55 per cent modacrylic and 45 per cent cotton fibers to maximize wearer comfort and safety. Unlike other high visibility FR products that are heavy, rough and uncomfortable, the high cotton content in the Job Sight FR products make them soft, breathable and comfortable. This new offering features safety vests, T-shirts and sweat shirts.
