9.0 Clothing Policy

Employees and contractors working in the plant are required to wear right industrial clothing in good
condition. Clothing must fully cover the legs and arms. Where specified in Departmental SOP.it may be

r d
acceptable to wear short sleeved shirts in specific plant areas or for specific tasks.
a
Employees coming to and from work, office-based workers, and visitors to the plant are permitted to wear

n d
short sleeve shirts remain within non-plant areas or defined safe walkways in plant areas. Preferably all

ta
employees should wear cotton clothes.
➢ Loose fitting or “baggy” clothing must not be worn around machinery as it increases the risk of

d S
garments being caught and the wearer being dragged into the machinery. For example, ties should

li
be removed but may be tucked into the shirt between the second and the third buttons. Vests

Va
should be close fitting and fastened. Shirts should be buttoned and tucked in. Loose clothing can
get caught in the moving parts of machinery and may pull the employee into the hazardous area.
Make sure loose clothing is not worn around moving machinery or open flame construction areas.
Loose clothing like Dhoti/Kurta/Pajamas/Sari/Salwar-Suit is not allowed on shop floors or at
construction sites.

➢ Rings, bracelets, dangling pierced earrings, and long neck chains, shall not be worn near
machinery or where mechanical/electrical/construction work is being performed.

➢ Long hair can be a hazard around moving machinery. It can get caught in moving parts and pull
the employee into the hazardous area. Restrain long hair in a hair net or style it to ensure that it
will not get caught in the machinery.

➢ Near moving parts of machine/equipment high dexterity hand gloves shall be worn. Gloves can
get caught in the moving parts and pull the employee’s hands and arms into the machine if they
do not fit properly to hands.

➢ Loose winter clothing like muffler/ loose woolen jackets are not allowed at shop floors or
construction sites.

SS/GEN- 58, Version-6.0 17th January 2023

the ASTM P S58 standard

arc test method for flame
resistant (FR) fabrics as
incident energy that would
just cause the onset of
second degree burn (1.2
Cal/cm2). EBT (Break
open Threshold energy) is
reported according to
ASTM P S58 and is defined
as the highest energy which
did not cause FR fabric
break open and did not
exceed the second-degree
burn criteria. EBT is
reported when ATPV
cannot be measured due to
FR fabric break open.
02) Arc Flash protective
hood (for protection of face
and head): -

a r d It should be suitable for

protecting from energy level

n d of 40 Cal/cm2 & meets

current ASTM, F1506 and

S ta NFPA-70E standard
requirement. The viewing

li d area should be 10 x 20.

Wide arc rated anti-fog

Va
amber lens, excellent
breathability & cotton
comfort having universal
hard hat bracket. The size
should be such that one size
fits to all.
Marking: Each electric Arc
flash suit shall be marked
with :----

the quality of elect
ric Arc flash suit.
Clothing material
characteristics:-- Clothing
made from synthetic
material such as acetate,
nylon, polyester, rayon
either alone or in blends
with cotton shall not be
acceptable.
Design Considerations:--
The following are some of
the principles (Ba
sed on ASTM-1506) that
should be considered in the
design and use of wearing

a r d apparel for protection from

momentary electric Arc and

n d related thermal hazards:--

a) Clothing should cover

S ta potentially exposed areas as

completely as

li d practicable. This should

include proper interfacing

Va
of related items.,
b) Garment design should
permit easy and rapid
removal. Closure dressing
should be appropriate for
easy removal.
c) Garment design should
be such that garment
interfere the least with the
work function but still
provides the necessary
protection.
d) Logos, name tags and
other heraldry should be
limited in number and
surface area.
e) The fasteners or
closures are, for example
Zippers, snaps or buttons or
a combination thereof, shall
 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT & Page 52 of 69
CLOTHING STANDARD GENERAL SPECIFICATION

SS/GEN- 58, Version-6.0 17th January 2023

be used in a manner in
which they
are in contact with the skin,
they can increase the heat
transfer and burn injury due
to heat conduction or
melting onto the skin.
Fasteners or closures that
are used in this manner
should be covered with the
layer of fabric between the
fastener or the closure and
the skin. The fabric used for
this purpose shall meet the
requirement of this
performance specification.
Laundering: -- The garment
manufacture in conjunction
with the fiber and fabric
supplier should provide
instructions for the care and
