The OEL AFW40L-KFC 40 CAL Coverall Kit SwitchGear Hood is a Category 4 arc-rated PPE ensemble designed for additional protection in electrical work environments. The kit centers on a 40 CAL/cm² rated khaki coverall constructed from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, with non-metallic, non-conductive materials and a hook-and-loop enclosure. It features a torso-adjusting closure, a 32-inch standard inseam with an inseam hemlock adjustable up to 6 inches, dual expansive back paneling for mobility, and an elastic waistband that accommodates up to 6 inches of waist expansion, along with a 24-inch leg slit for ease of movement. The garment is part of OEL’s USA-made line, reflecting in-house sewing and domestic material sourcing to support Arc Flash safety standards.
The kit includes essential arc-flash personal protection equipment: a Khaki 40 CAL coverall, safety glasses, a Class E rated hard hat, an HT lens faceshield with a cap bracket, a headgear storage bag, and an arc-flash duffle bag. A Switchgear Hood option or Lift Front Hood is available assembled as part of the kit, ensuring the wearer can adapt head and face protection to varying field needs. Washing instructions specify use of bleach or hydrogen peroxide, and the accompanying spec sheet provides detailed compliance and construction information.
In terms of compatibility and use, this Kit is designed for environments where NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506/F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 compliance are relevant. The fabric’s 40 CAL rating aligns with CAT4 requirements for arc-flash protection, and the overall assembly is intended to support quick donning and secure fit with adjustable features. Packaging is listed as each, and the kit is suitable for purchase by professionals requiring a ready-to-use arc-rated ensemble with included eye, head, and storage components.
