Arc flash and flame-resistant high-visibility vests meet NFPA 70E standards for use near electrical equipment where arc flash hazards exist. Brightly colored fabrics and reflective stripes on these garments help make workers and pedestrians more visible to traffic and equipment operators. Arc flash and flame-resistant material resists burning and melting and is self-extinguishing. All arc flash clothing is flame-resistant but not all flame-resistant clothing is arc flash-rated. Different garment types are often worn together to provide more coverage.
