We've been buzzing all month about our new women's line, because we know the time is now to ensure women are outfitted safely and comfortably in the workplace. As you may have seen in Safety + Health magazine's September issue, we want to share some insight with the industry about designing an appropriate women's FR garment program.
The article highlights three key 
considerations when including women in your FR garment program:
-
Safety First
-
Comfort = Productivity
-
Uniformity: Source the same FR Garments for Both Men and Women

We're officially launching our new women's line at the show! The new uniform shirts are available in khaki, light blue, navy and grey. Coveralls are available in navy, light blue, khaki and grey. Both the uniform shirt and coveralls are available in sizes ranging from extra-small to plus-sizes. With the addition of the women's line, we now offer both men's and women's shirts and coveralls that are the lightest-weight woven FR uniform shirts and coveralls on the market. The garments are dual-certified for NFPA 70E (HRC 2) and NFPA 2112 (Flash Fire).

At TECGEN® brand, we know that FR apparel has to be functional more than it is fashionable. But what's functional for some, may not be functional for others. We decided to ask women: what do you dislike about existing unisex FR garments?
With a wide range of responses, we set out on a mission to design women's FR apparel that could help eliminate the inconvenience and hazard of wearing poorly fitted FR apparel on the job. The results?
Our new FR garments for women are designed for an accurate fit, that is comfortable, breathable and functional. They also incorporate a consistant, uniform style for cohesiveness with existing FR garments on the market.
The new women's collection features a uniform shirt and coverall that balance the total comfort triangle: lightweight, breathability and moisture management. The collection is available in all size ranges from extra small to plus sizes.
-
Uniform Shirt: Weighing only 5.5 oz., the new women's uniform shirt is the lightest-weight woven dual-certified (NFPA HRC2 arc flash protection and NFPA 2112-2012 flash fire resistance) women's FR shirt on the market*. Other features include a right over left placket, darts, two pockets sized proportionately, a button-less spread collar, built-in stays and a contoured cut. Available in navy, light blue, khaki and grey.
-
Coverall: The new women's coverall features an adjusted sweep to account for women's hip sizes, an elastic waist, darts, snapping pockets, snapping pass through pockets and a feminine, functional cut. The inherently flame resistant coverall is certified for NFPA 70E HRC2 arc flash protection and NFPA 2112-2012 flash fire resistance. Availble in khaki, royal blue and grey.
