Pro-safe PS-PBI-51-NFPA Flame Resistant Pbi Hood

Product Description

The PRO-SAFE PS-PBI-51-NFPA is a flame resistant protective hood constructed from PBI (polybenzimidazole) fiber, a high-performance material rated for thermal and flame hazard protection. Sized universally to fit a broad range of head sizes, this hood is designed for workers and technicians operating in environments where flash fire or arc flash exposure is a concern. It ships individually and provides face, neck, and head coverage as a component of a compliant personal protective equipment ensemble. At 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended wear during service calls or maintenance tasks.

This PBI hood is suited for industrial, electrical, and utility service applications where NFPA-compliant flame resistant headwear is required. Electricians, utility technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals working near energized equipment or in environments with flash fire risk rely on FR hoods like this one as part of a layered PPE approach. The universal sizing makes it a practical choice for multi-technician operations where standardized PPE inventory is preferred.

Installation Notes

This hood is donned as part of a complete FR PPE ensemble and should be inspected for damage, contamination, or wear before each use. Laundering and care must follow the manufacturer guidelines to preserve FR properties. Technicians should verify that the full PPE ensemble meets the applicable NFPA arc flash or flash fire hazard risk category before energized work begins. Do not modify, cut, or alter the hood in any way.
