OSHA Subpart S, Safety-Related Work Practices, does not have a standard for flame-resistant (FR) clothing as of its most current version, the 1991 edition. Subpart S is based on the 1983 edition of NFPA 70E: Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, which did not have standards for FR clothing at that time.References:”Occupational Health and Safety Administration”: OSHA response letter to Ms. Linhard.
