Collection: Flame Retardant & Anti-Static Workwear

Flame Retardant & Anti-Static Workwear for Australian Workplaces

Flame retardant and anti-static workwear is designed for workplaces where flame resistance, electrostatic control and high visibility are important considerations. Brahma Industrial's specialised FR/AS range includes the Platinum Jacket, Platinum Vest and Titanium Vest, combining flame-retardant fabric performance, anti-static properties and high-visibility Day/Night design.

The Brahma Platinum range is designed for demanding industrial workplaces where workers require dependable protective workwear with high visibility. The garments combine flame retardant and anti-static properties with high-visibility construction designed for Day/Night use.

Our FR/AS workwear is suited to selected industrial, construction, mining, resource, utilities and specialist work environments where these protective characteristics are required. Product-specific performance and compliance information should always be considered alongside the requirements of the workplace and the task being performed.

Why Choose Flame Retardant & Anti-Static Workwear?

Flame retardant and anti-static workwear combines specific protective properties with high-visibility design for workplaces where these characteristics are required. The Brahma FR/AS range is designed around four key requirements: flame retardant performance, anti-static properties, high visibility and Day/Night visibility.

  • Flame Retardant Performance

    Brahma FR/AS garments incorporate flame-retardant fabric performance for workplaces where protection against heat and flame is an identified requirement.

  • Anti-Static Properties

    Anti-static materials are designed to help dissipate electrostatic charge and reduce static build-up in work environments where electrostatic control is required.

  • High Visibility

    The Brahma FR/AS range combines protective properties with high-visibility garment construction to help workers remain visible in demanding workplace conditions.

  • Day/Night Visibility


    Day/Night high-visibility design provides conspicuity for workers who may operate across different lighting and workplace conditions where high visibility is required.

Australian Standards & Compliance

High-visibility workwear is designed to help workers remain conspicuous in workplace conditions where visibility is an important safety requirement. The Brahma FR/AS range combines flame retardant and anti-static properties with high-visibility Day/Night design for demanding Australian workplaces.

The current Australian high-visibility standards are AS 4602.1:2024 for high-visibility safety garments and AS/NZS 1906.4:2023 for high-visibility materials used in safety garments.

The Brahma Platinum FR/AS range meets the current Australian high-visibility requirements applicable to these garments, including AS 4602.1:2024 and AS/NZS 1906.4:2023.

Learn more about flame retardant and anti-static workwear, what FR/AS means and where these protective characteristics may be relevant in the workplace.

Understanding FR/AS Workwear

Flame retardant and anti-static workwear is designed for workplaces where control of heat, flame and electrostatic charge is an identified requirement. These garments combine specific fabric and garment properties with high-visibility construction where workers also need to remain conspicuous in their working environment.

Flame retardant workwear is designed to provide resistance to ignition and flame propagation according to the performance requirements of the garment. The purpose is to help reduce the risk associated with exposure to heat and flame in workplaces where these hazards have been identified.

Anti-static workwear is designed to help control the build-up and discharge of electrostatic charge. Static electricity can be generated through movement, handling of materials, equipment and other workplace activities. Where electrostatic control is important, suitable anti-static clothing can form part of the overall risk-control approach.

High-visibility Day/Night workwear adds another important requirement for workers who need to remain visible across different lighting and workplace conditions. The Brahma FR/AS range combines these characteristics in garments designed for selected industrial, construction, mining, resource, utilities and specialist work environments.

Choosing protective workwear should always begin with the hazards identified for the task and the requirements of the workplace. The correct garment should be selected according to its documented performance and compliance information, together with the employer's workplace risk assessment and PPE requirements.

What Does FR/AS Mean?

FR refers to flame retardant properties, while AS refers to anti-static properties. FR/AS workwear combines these characteristics in garments intended for workplaces where both requirements have been identified.

The Brahma Platinum range is designed as high-visibility Day/Night FR/AS workwear, combining flame-retardant fabric performance, anti-static properties and high-visibility garment construction.

Who Uses FR/AS Workwear?

FR/AS workwear may be relevant to selected roles and workplaces across industrial, construction, mining, resource, utilities, transport and specialist work environments, depending on the hazards and requirements of the particular workplace.

The right garment should always be selected for the specific task. Protective clothing is one part of a broader workplace risk-control system and should be used alongside the site's safety procedures, PPE requirements and other appropriate controls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FR/AS mean?

FR refers to flame retardant properties, while AS refers to anti-static properties. FR/AS workwear combines these characteristics in garments intended for workplaces where both requirements have been identified.

What is flame retardant workwear?
