Portwest Arc Flash & Anti-Static PPE | Marine & Offshore Safety Equipment Australia
Protect your workforce with certified Portwest Arc Flash and Anti-Static PPE. Designed for marine, offshore, mining and industrial environments, these garments provide reliable protection against electrical arc flash, heat, flame and electrostatic hazards.
Arc Flash Protection for High-Risk Electrical Environments
Electrical work onboard ships and offshore facilities presents significant hazards. During maintenance, switchboard operation, fault finding, or live electrical testing, workers may be exposed to an arc flash—a sudden release of electrical energy that can generate temperatures exceeding 19,000°C, intense pressure waves, and molten metal.
Standard workwear offers little protection against these hazards. Selecting certified arc flash and anti-static PPE is essential for protecting personnel and meeting workplace safety requirements.
Marineboys supplies a comprehensive range of Portwest Arc Flash and Anti-Static PPE, trusted worldwide across the marine, offshore, mining, energy, and industrial sectors.
Why Arc Flash Protection Matters
An electrical arc flash can result in:
Severe burns
Permanent eye injuries
Hearing damage
Flying molten metal
Blast pressure injuries
Ignition of ordinary clothing
Properly certified arc-rated clothing helps minimise burn injuries by insulating the wearer from thermal energy generated during an electrical fault.
Why Anti-Static Clothing is Important
Static electricity can create dangerous ignition sources in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present.
Anti-static garments help dissipate electrostatic charges safely, making them suitable for applications including:
Tankers
LNG and LPG carriers
Chemical carriers
Offshore oil & gas platforms
Fuel terminals
Hazardous industrial facilities
Many Portwest garments combine Arc Flash, Flame Resistant (FR) and Anti-Static protection into one garment.
