Effectiveness of Distinction Between Being a Manufacturer and a Distributor
The FR Apparel market is very different right now than it was 5 year ago. There was a clear distinction between the manufacturers and the distributors in the minds of the business to business circles and the business to customers circle. During the course of the last 5 years the distinction between the manufacturers and the distributors was growing thinner and now the distinction no longer exists.
Regulatory Mandates Opening Up New Market Opportunities
Following the trend of better protection on the job, basic work clothing is being replaced in some jobs by other garments. Due to the observed hazards in certain types of work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued regulations to use the appropriate tools and equipments. In 1992, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 instructed employers in the chemical and petroleum industry to ensure that their employees use protective equipments. In January 1995, OSHA put into effect CFR 1910.269, which clearly requires the use of FR apparel for electrical utilities. These two regulations, along with the aforementioned NFPA 70E rulings, have virtually created markets, and continue to motivate demand as more companies come into compliance.
