ANNEX H

INDURA Ultra Soft Simplified Compliance

Many companies have decided to simplify compliance to NFPA 70E by implementing everday uniform programs using INDURA Ultra Soft garments that meet the requirements of NFPA 70E Hazard Risk Categories (HRC) 0, 1 and 2 as a single-layer (chart listed below). This can alleviate employer concerns about leaving the difficult decision of determining whether a specific routine electrical task is HRC 0, 1 or 2 in the hands of the employee. It can also eliminate the need for employers to police a program that requires workers to wear natural fiber, long-undergarments to meet the requirements of HRC 2. Please refer to NFPA 70E Annex H Simplified; Two Category, Flame Resistant (FR) Clothing Approach. To supplement everyday uniforms, arc flash suits and hoods in double-layer INDURA Ultra Soft combinations are available for higher energy HRC 3 & 4 level tasks.
