TECHNICAL WORKWEAR<br />
Britain has some of the most comprehensive health and<br />
safety legislation in the world meaning the nation’s<br />
workers are protected from a huge range of potentially<br />
life threatening hazards.<br />
When it comes an effective protective solution to the risk<br />
of arc flash injury, Tecwear by Wearwell, ensures your<br />
teams safety is the number one priority.<br />
Caused by contact between one energised conductor<br />
and another, arc flash has the potential to inflict severe<br />
life changing injury to those working near the electrical<br />
equipment. Injury’s such as acute internal and external<br />
burns, blindness, hearing loss and blunt trauma injurys<br />
caused by debris and shrapnel exploding into the air at<br />
up to 300 metres per second, makes Arc Flash one of the<br />
deadliest threats to worker safety. What’s more this everpresent<br />
danger spans multiple industries, not just those<br />
working with high voltage systems.<br />
Developing and consistently delivering workwear<br />
specifically designed to mitigate against the risk of Arc<br />
Flash, has long been the hallmark of Tecwear, a line of<br />
comfortable, high tech PPE workwear from British<br />
workwear specialist, Wearwell.<br />
Created using the very latest technical fabrics and<br />
innovate design features, Tecwear offers the perfect<br />
balance between practical design, technical capability<br />
and frontline protection.<br />
Working closely with employers and workers, Tecwear’s<br />
PPE workwear some of the most advanced of its kind, with superior fabrics and carefully<br />
considered designs that elevate wearer comfort and protection. Steve Hill, Sales and Service<br />
Director from Wearwell explains, “Electric arc is a complex phenomenon gaining increased<br />
understanding and attention in the electrical safety world”. Arcs are basically ionized gases<br />
caused when electricity travels through air. There are actually four types of arcs, two of which<br />
are rarely considered in arc hazard assessments and only briefly addressed in the arc flash<br />
calculations.<br />
