Working in the oil industry means tackling some of the most demanding environments. For field technicians, the job often requires working in remote locations where the weather is unpredictable, the terrain is challenging, and access to help can be limited. 

When you’re miles from the nearest town facing heavy rains, harsh winds, and the constant risk of flash fires, your safety depends on having the right gear. In these isolated settings, standard rainwear just won’t cut it—you need outerwear that does double duty, protecting you from extreme weather and dangerous fire hazards.

That’s where NASCO’s Flame-Resistant (FR) rainwear comes in. Designed with the unique demands of oil industry work in mind, NASCO’s FR rainwear is engineered to keep you dry while protecting against sudden fire risks. With over 40 years of experience manufacturing high-quality rainwear in the USA, NASCO understands what it takes to stay safe in remote, high-risk locations. Their FR outerwear meets strict safety standards beyond basic protection, giving field technicians reliable coverage they can count on, no matter the conditions.

Flame-Resistant Rainwear: Your Shield Against Weather and Thermal Hazards

In remote locations, you need outerwear that offers more than rain protection. When a sudden flash fire can turn a normal day into a life-or-death situation, the importance of wearing flame-resistant rainwear can’t be overstated. NASCO’s FR rainwear is specifically designed for field workers who may face these dangerous conditions, giving them an essential layer of protection that keeps them ready for the unexpected.

Understanding Safety Standards: What Makes FR Rainwear Different?

Safety standards for FR rainwear exist to ensure that gear will perform as expected in high-risk situations. For example, ASTM F2733 is one of the key standards for workers exposed to potential flash fires. Rainwear that meets this standard must limit potential body burn injury to less than 40% while also self-extinguish and not melt or drip onto the wearer’s skin if exposed to a flash fire. This protection is essential for oil industry technicians, as it can reduce the risk of serious burns and give you critical seconds to get to safety in a fire emergency.

These standards aren’t just technical details—they directly impact your safety in the field. Knowing that your gear meets these stringent requirements gives you the confidence to work more securely, even in remote, high-risk environments.
