FOR OIL AND GAS, WE DON'T JUST DO FR.
WE ARE FR.
EVERY CLIMB UP THE DERRICK. EVERY SMEARING OF PIPE DOPE.
Born in the Canadian oil fields in 1971, Bulwark FR has spent the last 50+ years pioneering breakthroughs in different aspects of flame-resistant clothing. From the way we engineer FR to protect to the way we further safety education, we've never stopped our commitment to enhancing performance and comfort.

SAFETY MANAGERS & WORKERS

Our mission is to save lives, and we do it by making FR that keeps workers cool, comfortable, and compliant. When they want to wear FR, they are more likely to wear it right, and stay protected. Because the job is rough and tumble enough without clothing getting in the way.
And nowhere is that more true than in oil and gas. Roughnecks and roustabouts power the world, and we’ve spent 50+ years innovating to protect them from harm.
THE HAZARDS YOUR PEOPLE FACE
We know what a flash fire can do because we’ve seen it, studied it, tested it, and developed the highest standard of garments for protecting against it and other oil field hazards. Each oil and gas footprint, from drilling to refining, presents unique dangers. It’s a complex multi-hazard landscape, but we’re here to make it simpler and safer.
FLASH FIRE
NFPA® defines flash fire as “a fire that spreads by means of a flame front rapidly through a diffuse fuel, such as dust, gas, or the vapors of an ignitable liquid, without the production of damaging pressure.” This is the main hazard for exploration, drilling, field services, refinement, and chemical production within the oil and gas industry.
HEAT STRESS
Anytime the temperature rises, the combination of the radiant heat load and the worker’s exertion level can lead to heat stress. This is the name for multiple heat-related illnesses, including (from mild to severe) heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
ARC FLASH
An arc flash occurs when an electric current moves through the air between two electrified conductors or an electrified conductor to ground. This dangerous and instantaneous discharge of energy is usually caused by an electric fault, producing intense heat, blinding light, blast pressure, loud sound, and shrapnel in the form of molten metal debris.
LOW VISIBILITY
ANSI/ISEA 107 defines visibility as “the need to be seen" and is recognized as a critical issue for worker safety. Low visibility is a serious hazard for all workers who must perform tasks near moving vehicles or equipment.
