This exceeds the high-visibility standards required for many hazardous work environments, surpassing the often minimal compliance found in traditional garments.  Design and Functionality: While traditional workwear may provide basic utility, the OSN375 is designed with the user’s daily challenges in mind. Two pass-through pockets with zipper closures ensure that essential tools and personal items are always securely within reach.  In essence, the Women’s FR High-Vis Full Zip Jacket – OSN375 is engineered to surpass the benchmarks set by traditional workwear, offering a sophisticated blend of safety, comfort, and functionality that empowers women in industrial professions.   Standards and ComplianceThe Women’s FR High-Vis Full Zip Fleece Jacket – OSN375 complies with the following standards:   NFPA 2112: This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design, construction, evaluation, and certification of FR garments. CGSB 155.20: This Canadian General Standards Board standard outlines the requirements for FR clothing used in industrial workplaces. NFPA 70E: This standard focuses on electrical safety in the workplace and provides guidelines for the selection and use of FR clothing. CSA Z462: This Canadian standard addresses electrical safety requirements for workplaces. ASTM F1506: This standard sets the minimum performance requirements for FR garments used by workers exposed to electric arcs.    ApplicationsThe OSN375 jacket, a pivotal item within the Women’s FR Clothing category, is designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industrial settings.
