The OEL AFW40LF-FL-NJB 40 CAL Jacket and Bib Overall Kit is a dedicated arc-flash protective ensemble designed for high-risk electrical work. The kit includes a 40 CAL jacket and matching bib-overall, plus a Class E hard hat and HT-clear faceshield to provide integrated protection for workers operating in environments with substantial arc-flash hazards. Garments are built from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend and are assembled in the USA, reflecting OEL’s emphasis on domestic manufacturing and QA. The design features a premium lift-front hood and reinforced stitching, with non-metallic, non-conductive materials intended to reduce conductive paths and minimize secondary exposure in electrical tasks.
The product specifications indicate standard compliance with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269, with a CAL rating of 40 cal/cm² (Category 4). This places the kit in a high-level protective category suitable for certain arc-flash scenarios, though access to training and proper usage is implied rather than stated. Practical considerations for wear include the need for appropriate laundering—bleach and hydrogen peroxide are listed as washing instructions—and the kit’s components are intended for assembly with a dedicated hood and head/face protection. The package size is listed as each, and the kit includes headgear storage and a compact duffle bag for transport or on-site organization.
For buyers, this kit provides a single-source solution combining flame-resistant apparel with compatible head and face protection, facilitating coordinated use in field conditions where arc-flash risk is present. Always verify site-specific safety requirements, ensure correct sizing, and follow all manufacturer and regulatory guidance when selecting PPE for electrical work.
