It’s hard to believe, but 2017 is already coming to a close. It was a busy year for us here at Bulwark. We asked you to share your burning FR questions with us and answered them throughout the year in the form of blog posts, webinars, infographics, whitepapers and more. Click through the topics below to see the top stories of the year.

Give Your FR Some TLC

Even the best safety programs will fail if the FR garments do not receive the proper care and maintenance. You can ensure your FR’s compliance and extend the life of the garments by adhering to the guidelines for washing, repairing and caring for your FR. Bulwark’s free FR Care & Maintenance posters break these rules down in simple terms to help you create a culture of compliance.

Arc Ratings Whitepaper

You know your crew needs to wear FR clothing that meets a certain arc rating. But do you understand what that protection level means or how FR fabric gets its arc rating? Our new whitepaper addresses the arc flash hazard, a brief history of the arc rating system and how it all comes together in the form of arc-rated FR fabrics to keep you and your crew compliant.

Wear It Right

Is your undershirt FR? Are your coveralls zipped up? Keeping track of the many elements of FR compliance can be a daunting task, but its importance can’t be overstated.
