Why the Westex Brand Matters?

Why Specify Westex?

When Safety is Involved, the Fabric Brand Matters

Many companies have made large investments in flame resistant clothing to keep their employees safe. Since FR fabric is a critical factor in determining the amount of protection the garment will provide, end-users should take an active role in investigating and specifying the brand of fabric that is used to produce the finished garment. After all, the safety of your employees is too important to let just anyone make the fabric decision for you. Be sure to choose a company that is fully committed to raising the bar on protection and never making compromises. This will help ensure that a marginally lower up-front investment on a generic/off-brand product doesn’t lead to employee injuries, program dissatisfaction or significant additional costs downstream.
