Midwest Workwear offers a wide selection of Flame Resistant (FR) clothing engineered to meet rigorous safety standards, including NFPA 2112 compliance. FR clothing is designed for workers exposed to flash fire, electric arc, or other high-heat environments — offering critical protection across industries such as oil and gas, utilities, welding, construction, and manufacturing.
Unlike traditional fabrics, FR apparel is made from self-extinguishing materials. While it can ignite when exposed directly to a flame or heat source, it will immediately stop burning once the source is removed — reducing the severity of burns and minimizing injury. This makes FR gear a crucial layer of defense in hazardous work environments where every second counts.
To maximize protection, proper fit and wear matter:
Midwest Workwear proudly carries FR gear from trusted brands like Carhartt®, Ariat®, Bulwark®, Rasco®, and others — offering both retail and wholesale purchasing options. Whether you're buying for yourself or outfitting an entire crew, our team is here to help you choose the right FR clothing for your worksite requirements.
