Here is the condensed version of what NFPA 2113 requires when FRC are determined to be needed:
- The organization shall define those facilities and areas of the workplace and tasks that require personnel to wear flame-resistant garments.
- Organizations shall provide users with the instructions provided by the manufacturer on the care, use, and maintenance of flame-resistant garments, including any warning provided by the manufacturer.
- Organizations shall instruct workers in the limitations, use, care, and maintenance of flame-resistant garments, including the use of undergarments or overgarments.
- For maximum protection, organizations shall require that flame-resistant garments be worn as described in the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Flame-resistant garment collars shall be worn closed.
- Sleeves and cuffs shall be worn down and secured.
- Organizations shall require that protective neck, head, hand, and foot coverings be worn if the occupational hazard warrants their use.
- Other personal protective equipment (PPE) shall be worn if determined as necessary from a review of the potential hazards to which workers are exposed from the hazard assessment.
- Organizations shall NOT permit workers to wear non–flame-resistant clothing over flame-resistant garments. Flame-resistant or nonmelting undergarments (closest to the skin) shall be used. An incidental amount of elastic used on nonmelting fabric underwear or socks shall be permitted.
