Everywhere I've worked was only concerned with the outer layer being FRC. If they're strict the cotton or wool jacket won't fly. FTR I've never had my clothes underneath checked.

quote:

In the Bakken we werent allowed on site if our outer coats were not FR. That being said I dont think it would be a big difference if you have FRs under it. How close to the well head will you be? I personally was more concerned about being around the sand kings without a mask than a fire.


What oil Co.? I'm currently in the Bakken and we don't have any FRC requirements on any of our locations.

I work for a major oil company in HES. Our requirements are the outer layer must be FR which reflects the OSHA interpretation and the current API standard. I suggest either purchasing a FR coat or wearing several layers under your FR. If you are doing the later, I hope you bought coveralls that are to big.
