Compliance and Selection Notes

For Malaysia, body protection used for chemical hazards should consider DOSH PPE approval expectations, SDS information and chemical risk assessment under relevant OSH and chemical management requirements. For Singapore, PPE selection should align with WSH risk management duties and safe work procedures. ISO 13688 is commonly used as a general reference for protective clothing ergonomics, sizing, marking and manufacturer information, while task-specific standards should be checked for chemical, heat, flame, arc or visibility performance.

Arc Flash Protection FAQ

How should body protection be selected?

Start with the hazard, then choose the garment material, coverage, protection level, size and compatibility with other PPE. Comfort and correct fit matter because workers must be able to move safely and wear the clothing correctly.

Can one garment protect against every hazard?

No. Chemical splash, flame, heat, arc flash, cold, rain, contamination and visibility hazards need different garment materials and standards. Check the product datasheet and site risk assessment before use.
