Welder’s Fire Blankets
When planning welding work require that contractors and maintenance personnel use only welding blankets that conform to ANSI/FM 4950.
A single fire event attributable to a poor-quality blanket can have huge financial impacts and cause delays to your project, not to mention the possibility of personnel injury and damage to equipment.
“Fire blanket” has been a loosely used term in the industry for many years, but there has been a standard in place for a while now. The cost of a quality fire blanket is very cheap, given the ugly and dangerous alternative.
