Larry Wilson of SafeStart had a message for hundreds of
attendees at ASSE Safety 2010: Stop chasing the erroneous belief that

behavioral side of safety. Instead, he explained, we should all take a
hard look at our behavior now and consider how it affects our personal
safety, both on and off the job, in order to prevent accidents and
fatalities.

Live Webinar: FR Clothing for Protection Against
Flash Fire
Date: Wednesday, June 30, 2010
Time: 2:00pm ET Duration: 60 Minutes
Speaker: Denise Statham, Business Development Manager, Bulwark FR
Join EHS Today and Bulwark Protective Apparel for a presentation on
flame resistant clothing for protection against flash fire. We will
focus on the recent OSHA memo which addresses enforcement policy for
flame resistant clothing in oil and gas drilling, well servicing and
production-related operations.
We will cover related topics such as 29 CFR 1910.132, the general
industry standard for personal protective equipment and NFPA 2112/2113,
the pertinent standards for protection against flash fire. We will
discuss the benefit of wearing FR apparel in certain hazardous
environments & the primary industries where the risk of flash fires
exists.
• Are you new to the world of flame resistant apparel?
• Are you responsible for decisions about flame resistant clothing
in your organization?
• Do you need a refresher on NFPA 2112/2113 standards for
protection against flash fire?
• Would you benefit from knowing more about the flash fire hazard
and how to properly protect your employees?
