The OEL AFW40SGHF-K is a Category 4 arc-flash rated hood designed to help workers stay protected in electrical environments. The garment is built from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, offering a durable fabric foundation that meets key arc-flash standards, including NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269. The hood's design emphasizes clear visibility with a clear HT lens and uses dual reinforced stitching and non-metallic, non-conductive materials to reduce conductive risks while maintaining overall garment integrity.
Construction and features are oriented toward reliable field performance: the fabric selection and hand-stitched manufacturing align with OEL’s emphasis on domestic production and quality control. The product delivers a Cat4 40 CAL/cm² rating, supporting protection goals in medium- to high-energy electrical tasks. Practical considerations include care guidance indicating compatibility with bleaching agents and hydrogen peroxide, as listed in the washer instructions, which informs maintenance planning for longevity and consistent performance.
Designed for professional use in electrical safety programs, this hood is sold as an individual unit with Khaki coloring to aid visibility and compliance in industrial settings. The specification set confirms standard alignment with industry best practices for arc-flash apparel and related PPE requirements, helping purchasers verify that the garment meets recognized safety frameworks when paired with other certified items in their PPE ensemble.
