The OEL AFW40SGHL-N is an arc-rated hooded garment designed for workers in electrically hazardous environments requiring Category 4 protection. This 40 CAL/cm² rated hood is part of OEL’s 40 CAL Clothing line, featuring non-metallic, non-conductive materials and dual reinforced stitching to support durability under arc-flash conditions. The fabric composition is an 88/12 premium Indura cotton blend, and the garment is manufactured in the USA with hand-sewn construction, aligning with domestic production standards emphasized by the brand.
Documentation accompanies the garment to reflect compliance with key arc-flash safety standards, including NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269. The color is Navy, and the package size is listed as Each. A Clear HT lens and hood light are noted in product features, and the washing instructions specify care with bleach and hydrogen peroxide, which are commonly used for maintaining FR garments in industrial settings. A spec sheet is available for download to support technical assessment and proper selection.
When selecting this hood, users should consider the demands of their work environment, including arc-flash risk level (Category 4) and compatibility with other PPE such as face shields, respirators, and pass-through arc-rated jackets. The 40 CAL rating indicates a high level of arc protection, and the non-conductive construction reduces electrical conduction risk. Regular maintenance per the provided care guidance helps preserve protective performance and fabric integrity over time.
