The OEL AFW40LF-L-NJB-W Lift Front Hood 40 CAL Jacket and Bib Overall Kit is an arc-flash rated PPE system designed for environments requiring category 4 protection. The kit pairs a 40 CAL jacket with a corresponding bib-overall, delivering a unified solution for workers who face high arc-flash potential. The fabric is described as an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, a material commonly selected for durability and comfort in flame-resistant applications, with non-metallic, non-conductive construction to minimize electrical hazard risks. The package also includes a Class E-rated hard hat and a faceshield with a clear HT lens, plus an assembled lift-front hood and carrying accessories for convenient field use. Washing instructions indicate care with bleach or hydrogen peroxide, reflecting the fabric’s resilience under appropriate laundering.
From a construction perspective, the kit emphasizes features such as a premium lift-front hood style and dual reinforced stitching, which support the structural integrity of multilayer garments worn in demanding environments. The product is positioned to meet relevant safety standards, with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 and F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 compliance indicators cited in the specification set. The inclusion of a hard hat and faceshield in Class E- rated form suggests a holistic approach to head and face protection within arc-flash workflows. The hard hat, faceshield, and lenses are specified as part of the kit, enabling immediate use with the assembled lift-front hood.
Practical use considerations include the non-metallic design intended to minimize conductive exposure, while the gear is sized and packaged as individual units within the kit. The kit’s scope supports on-site deployment where arc-flash risk is assessed at Category 4, and the standard navy color provides uniform visibility in industrial settings. For maintenance, users should follow the specified laundering guidance and refer to the included spec sheet for technical details on assembly and compatibility. The product is made in America and is positioned as a complete, install-ready kit for sites requiring integrated PPE with arc-flash compliance.
