The OEL AFW8-KFC-W kit provides a comprehensive arc-rated PPE solution designed for workers who require Category 2 protection in potentially energized environments. The kit centers on an 8 CAL/cm² khaki coverall and includes a balanced assortment of head, eye, and facial protection: a Class E rated hard hat, a FREEDOM faceshield, and safety glasses, complemented by a balaclava and storage accessories. The garments in this line are described as non-metallic and non-conductive, with features like a hook-and-loop enclosure, torso adjustment, a 30-inch standard inseam, dual expansive back paneling, and an elastic waistband that accommodates up to 6 inches. The design emphasizes practical alignment with arc-flash protection standards while maintaining work-ready functionality through adjustable fit and accessible closures.
From a construction standpoint, the fabric is specified as an 88/12 premium sateen cotton blend, balancing comfort with required flame-resistance characteristics. The kit’s washing instructions note compatibility with chlorine bleach and hydrogen peroxide, which provides some guidance on maintenance and lifecycle expectations for the fabric and color retention. The product includes a dedicated arc flash bag for transporting the equipment and a headgear storage bag, supporting organization and ease of use on job sites. The accompanying downloads reference a spec sheet for more detailed technical data, and the product is listed with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506 & F2178, and OSHA 1910.269 conformance, supporting its applicability in workplaces that follow these standards.
Practical considerations include the kit’s clear note that gloves are not included, and that sizing is tied to standard inseam and waist adjustability features. The kit is designated as a single-package item intended for one wearer, with multiple components designed to work together in an arc-flash protective workflow. Users should verify fit and ensure all components meet their site-specific PPE requirements before use.
