| Abstract | NFPA 2112 and 2113 are the first comprehensive North American standards to provide guidance on minimum material performance specifications for selection, care, use and maintenance of flame resistant clothing to protect workers against industrial flash fires. An instrumented manikin flash fire test specifying a limit on predicted body area burn injury is among the NFPA 2112 requirements. The level of body area burn injury is discussed as a key indicator for victim survival. The level of predicted body burn injury for various types of flame resistant clothing systems over a range of flash fire exposure levels is discussed. Basic guidelines for wearing flame resistant clothing are provided. |
