Portwest Bizflame Work FR Women's Trousers

Portwest Bizflame Work FR Women's Trousers – Purpose-Designed Flame Resistant Protection for Female Workers

The Portwest Bizflame Work FR Women's Trousers represent a significant advancement in flame-resistant workwear for women. Purpose-designed with a women's-specific fit, these trousers deliver the same rigorous multi-hazard protection as the standard Bizflame Work range while addressing the comfort, fit and functionality needs of female workers in high-risk industries.

Constructed from Portwest's proven Bizflame Work fabric – a sophisticated blend of 99% cotton and 1% carbon fibre at 280g/m² – these trousers provide comprehensive protection against flame, heat, welding hazards and static discharge. The high cotton content ensures natural comfort and breathability essential for workers in hot environments, while the integrated carbon fibre delivers reliable anti-static properties to prevent dangerous electrostatic discharge.

The women's-specific design features tailoring around the hips and waist that accounts for female body proportions, eliminating the ill-fitting compromises many women face when wearing standard unisex FR workwear. This tailored approach not only improves comfort but also enhances safety – properly fitting garments provide better protection and reduce the risk of snagging or tripping hazards that can occur with oversized clothing.

These trousers carry comprehensive multi-standard certification. EN ISO 11612 A1+A2, B1, C1, F1 certification confirms protection against heat and flame across multiple hazard categories including limited flame spread, convective heat, radiant heat, and contact heat. EN ISO 11611 Class 2 A1+A2 certification verifies suitability for welding and allied processes with protection against heavier spatter conditions. The EN 1149-5 certification confirms anti-static properties, while EN 13034 Type 6 certification provides protection against light chemical splash.

For electrical hazard environments, the trousers achieve IEC 61482-2 certification with an Elim rating of 12 cal/cm², meeting APC 1 arc flash protection requirements. This comprehensive certification profile makes these trousers suitable for multi-risk environments where workers face various thermal, electrical and chemical hazards.

The design incorporates practical features essential for working environments. Multiple pockets provide secure storage for tools and personal items. The metal-free front closure eliminates sparking risks in sensitive environments where ferrous materials are prohibited. Reflective tape enhances visibility in low-light conditions, contributing to site safety protocols.

Technical Specifications

Understanding the Safety Certifications

EN ISO 11612 – Heat and Flame Protection

This comprehensive standard tests protection against multiple thermal hazards:

• A1+A2: Limited flame spread (surface and edge ignition)
• B1: Convective heat protection
• C1: Radiant heat protection
• F1: Contact heat protection

EN ISO 11611 – Welding and Allied Processes

Class 2 A1+A2 certification indicates protection during welding techniques that produce medium levels of spatter and radiant heat. This represents a higher protection level than Class 1, suitable for more demanding welding environments.

EN 1149-5 – Anti-Static Properties

This standard confirms the fabric dissipates electrostatic charges safely, preventing dangerous sparking in environments with flammable atmospheres or sensitive equipment.

EN 13034 Type 6 – Chemical Splash Protection

Type 6 certification provides limited protective performance against light spray of liquid chemicals, offering additional peace of mind in mixed-hazard environments.

IEC 61482-2 – Arc Flash Protection

The Elim rating of 12 cal/cm² represents the incident energy level below which no break-open of the fabric occurs, providing reliable arc flash protection meeting APC 1 requirements.

Ideal For

The Portwest Bizflame Work FR Women's Trousers are essential protective equipment for female workers in:

• Welding and fabrication operations
• Oil and gas industry roles
• Petrochemical plant operations
• Electrical utility work and maintenance
• Power generation and distribution

Why Choose Women's-Specific FR Workwear?

Better Fit, Better Protection – Properly fitting FR garments provide superior protection. Excess fabric can catch on equipment or drag on the ground, creating safety hazards. A women's-specific fit eliminates these risks while ensuring the protective fabric sits correctly against the body.

Enhanced Comfort – All-day comfort increases compliance with PPE requirements. Workers who find their FR clothing uncomfortable are more likely to make adjustments that compromise protection. Purpose-designed women's workwear addresses comfort without sacrificing safety.

Professional Appearance – Well-fitting workwear projects professionalism and helps female workers feel confident in male-dominated industries. The tailored design ensures a smart appearance suitable for customer-facing roles as well as hands-on work.

Reduced Fatigue – Ill-fitting clothing requires constant adjustment and can restrict movement. A proper fit allows natural movement throughout the working day, reducing fatigue and improving productivity.
