The OEL AFW40SGHFL-N is a Category 4 arc-rated hood designed to provide reliable protection for workers against arc flash exposures. This 40 CAL/cm² garment is part of OEL’s US-made line, crafted from an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend and finished with non-metallic, non-conductive materials. The hood features a clear heat-resistant lens and dual reinforced stitching to support durability in demanding environments while maintaining visibility and comfort for prolonged wear.
Key construction details reflect the product’s intended use in electrical safety settings. The hood is built to NFPA 70E and CSA Z462 standards, with ASTM F1506 and OSHA 1910.269 compliance indicated in the associated specifications, aligning with typical requirements for protective clothing used in arc flash scenarios. The 40 CAL/cm² rating corresponds to CAT4 protection, a critical factor when evaluating responses to higher-energy electrical incidents.
Practical considerations for buyers include the garment’s navy color and its maintenance guidance, which lists bleach and hydrogen peroxide as acceptable washing options. The product is packaged as individual units and is designed for use in environments where arc-rated protection is mandated by safety programs and regulatory frameworks.
