HOW DO I DRESS AGAINST HEAT?
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST HEAT AND FLAME WITH THE RIGHT WORKWEAR
Do you work in environments where heat, flame or arc flash are risks? Then choosing the right workwear is essential for your safety. Blåkläder offers a wide range of flame-resistant and multinorm garments that combine certified protection with comfort, durability and freedom of movement.
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT PROTECTIVE WORKWEAR FOR HIGH-RISK ENVIRONMENTS
Which professions need flame-resistant workwear?
Electricians, welders and industrial workers often work in environments where heat, flame, sparks or arc flash can occur. Blåkläder garments are developed to help protect users in precisely these demanding conditions.
How does inherent flame resistance work?
Inherent flame resistance means the protection is built into the fabric’s fibre structure. It cannot be washed or worn out like a surface treatment, which helps provide long-lasting protection throughout the garment’s service life.
Can protective workwear be comfortable?
Yes. With stretch panels, lighter-weight fabrics and ergonomic design, you can get excellent mobility and comfort without compromising on certified protection.
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING PROTECTIVE WORKWEAR?
Fabric properties: Materials such as aramid blends and cotton-rich fabrics can provide both protection and comfort. For high-risk environments, choose garments that meet the relevant standards for your work, such as EN ISO 11612 and EN 1149.
Certifications: Check that the garments are certified for the specific risks you face. Examples include EN 61482 for arc protection and EN ISO 11611 for welding.
Layering: Use flame-resistant garments in every layer for maximum protection. Base layers and mid layers should also be flame-resistant to help reduce the risk of burn injuries.

Blåkläder’s 1514 fabric is a flame-retardant blend and was selected for its superior combination of strength and comfort. The cotton-rich fabric ensures wearability and maximum protection in one.
The fabric is certified to EN 1149-3, EN 61842-1-1 APTV:11,0 cal/cm², HAF:82%, EN 61482-1-2 Class 1, EN ISO 11611 Class 1, EN ISO 11612 A1 A2 B1 C1 E3 F1, EN 13034, EN ISO 20471.
Most styles out of Multinorm Heavyweight are reinforced with knee pads in an inherent flame-retardant blend. The unique blend and high percentage of CORDURA® give the material enhanced durability.
We recommend professional industrial laundering for extended garment life. The reflectors are designed to withstand heavy-duty use and industrial laundering. If the garment is not laundered professionally, follow the care instructions. Detergents or detergents with bleach should not be used.
