The BW2505T1 Ultra Lightweight PPE1 FR Shirt with Segmented Tape incorporates 32% cotton content to maximise breathability and is finished with a segmented tape pattern to ensure comfort remains a focus of the product. With certification by BSI Group, the shirt is designed to provide protection against an arc flash incident.

An arc flash event is a sudden electrical explosion that can cause severe injury and potentially death as electricity flows through two conductors. These incidents result in extreme heat, exceeding 5000°C, a bright flash of light and pressure waves, which can both cause deafness and propel the individual back across the area. These incidents can occur in the construction, mining, oil & gas and electrical industries.

The product is designed to combat these risks and give the wearer confidence to perform in hot, harsh Australian environments. Engineered using the Parvotex yarn, Bool products boast uncompromised protection against unforeseen open electrical arc incidents and flash fire events. With a 32% cotton content, this FR fabric can boast high levels of fire resistance alongside superior comfort and breathability.

Australian industries are often complacent about workplace hazards, especially in terms of arc flash or flash fire incidents. Mark Inglis (pictured), arc flash survivor and new Bool brand ambassador, has transitioned into a workplace health and safety role more recently and become a strong advocate for arc flash safety. With a background as an electrician, Mark can relate to those he ensures remain safe day-to-day.
