The OEL AFW0100-BBO is a Category 4 arc-rated bib overall designed to provide inherent flame-resistant protection for personnel exposed to high-level arc flashes. Built from an 11oz triple-layered inherent blend, this garment is intended for environments requiring NFPA 70E compliance, CSA Z462 alignment, ASTM F1506 approval, and OSHA 1910.269 coverage. The 100 CAL/cm² rating indicates a level of arc flash protection specified by the product’s design, suitable for workers in electrical and related applications where arc hazards may be present. All components are non-metallic and non-conductive, and the overall construction supports safety-focused needs without introducing conductive elements that could pose additional risk during an arc event. The garment is hand-sewn in the USA, reflecting OEL’s commitment to domestic production and material sourcing. Color is Brown, and the package size is listed as Each, aligning with standard sizing and inventory practices for PPE garments.
Key construction features include a non-metallic expansive strap system, a hook-and-loop enclosure, and a torso-adjusting hook-and-loop mechanism to help achieve a secure fit. The inseam hemlock adjusts up to 6 inches, with a standard 32-inch inseam to accommodate a range of user heights and layering requirements. A 24-inch leg slit provides additional mobility and ease of layering over boots, while the absence of metal hardware reduces snag risk in confined work environments. Documentation associated with this product includes a downloadable spec sheet for technical review, supporting informed purchasing and compliance verification.
Practically, this bib overall is suited for workers who need robust arc-flash protection in electrical maintenance, electrical installation, and other high-risk settings. When selecting this garment, consider compatibility with other PPE layers, laundering instructions that call for bleach or hydrogen peroxide, and the need for consistent size selection to ensure proper coverage and mobility during work tasks. The product’s 100 CAL/cm² rating and listed standards help buyers verify that the garment meets recognized safety requirements for Category 4 protective clothing.
