The OEL AFW025-NBO-W bib overall is a Category 3 arc-rated garment designed to provide a protective layer for workers exposed to electrical arc hazards. Made from a premium 88/12 Indura cotton blend, this 25 CAL/cm² rated fabric is paired with non-metallic, non-conductive components to minimize shock risk while maintaining practical mobility for job tasks. The design includes a hook-and-loop enclosure, torso adjusting fasteners, and non-metallic expansive straps, along with an elastic waistband that accommodates up to 6 inches of waist expansion. A 30-inch standard inseam with a 24-inch leg slit offers versatility for varied worker heights and layering needs. The garment is hand-sewn in the USA, reflecting OEL’s domestic manufacturing approach and commitment to arc flash protection standards.
Technical compliance is documented through NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269 conformance, with an explicit CAL rating of 25 CAL/cm², Category 3. These specifications indicate the garment is intended for use in environments where arc flash exposure could require substantial protection and where industry safety codes apply. The fabric blend and construction are selected to balance protection with wearer mobility, essential for tasks that demand range of motion while maintaining protective integrity. For care, the recommended washing guidance supports routine laundering with bleach or hydrogen peroxide as part of maintenance routines, though users should follow any additional manufacturer care instructions in the spec sheet.
Included resources include access to the product’s spec sheet for detailed engineering data. This bib overall is offered in Navy and is packaged individually, suitable for inventory stocking and sizing consistency across your PPE program. When selecting sizes, consider the inseam and waist-adjustment features to ensure proper fit and coverage in practical work conditions.
