Carhartt Work Dry Flame Resistant Shirts – Keep You Cool and Protected

While gas prices continue to rise across the country, many workers in the oil and gas industry have found themselves busier than ever. The amount of work in areas like North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming is at all-time highs and the supply of workers can’t be found in this regions to match the increasing demands. The oil and gas industry is highly regulated especially when it comes to the safety of the workers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has placed requirements on oil and gas workers to be wearing the proper flame-resistant apparel when they are working on applicable sites. As these regulations continue to come out, the demand for quality flame resistant apparel has sky-rocketed.

Carhartt flame resistant apparel has been around for quite awhile and continues the tradition of quality and long-lasting qualities from their traditional workwear line. We, at The Workwear Store, have been fortunate to be able to outfit many men and women that are required to be wearing this clothing before they even are allowed on the jobsite. Most people know Carhartt for their high quality of cold weather gear, however they have released an extensive line of the flame resistant product that will protect the oil and gas worker from sub-freezing temperatures all the way to those very warm temperatures that these workers can endure in the summer. By combining their flame-resistant technology and their moisture wicking system, Work-Dry, Carhartt has a line of shirts that will protect you by OSHA’s standards and keep you cool on the jobsite.

The FRK009 FR Long-Sleeve Work-Dry T-Shirt has been one of the most popular FR shirts since Carhartt released it. This flame resistant shirt is constructed out of 5.5-ounce FR knit fabric that allows it to breathe nicely on those hot days. The moisture management technology built into the shirt will pull the moisture away from your body and evaporate it on the outside of your shirt. This shirt does have a HRC rating of one and an ATPV rating of 4.7. This shirt is one of twelve shirts Carhartt has in its current flame resistant lineup. The recent release of the FRS003 FR Work-Dry Lightweight Twill Shirt has also been very popular with customers. This shirt takes the traditional button down FR shirt that has been around since the very beginning of the line and adds in the moisture-wicking technology. The FRS003 Twill Shirt has a HRC rating of 2 and an ATPV rating of 8.7.
