Arc flash clothing for rail

Trackside and traction-power work puts people close to live electrical equipment in all weathers. The Vailos Railway range is hi-vis orange arc flash clothing that meets RIS-3279-TOM, so visibility and arc protection come in the same garment.

Where arc flash risk shows up

  • Switching and isolation at feeder stations and substations
  • Work on or near overhead line equipment and conductor-rail systems
  • Signalling, location cabinets and trackside distribution
  • Depot maintenance of traction and auxiliary equipment

What to look for

  • Hi-vis orange that meets RIS-3279-TOM for the work you do
  • An arc rating (ATPV or ELIM) at or above your assessed incident energy
  • A box-test class (APC 1 or APC 2) tested to EN IEC 61482-1-2
  • Waterproof outer layers for winter and night work

Your risk assessment sets the minimum rating. Tell us the tasks and we will help you specify the right garments for your crews.
