REDUCE THE RISK

Is your company's Hot Work Management Policy up-to-date? Not if it doesn't include FM Approval Standard 4950, the performance-based industry standard for superior risk management and hot work protection.

With the FM Approval seal, you can buy Sellstrom welding protection fabrics with complete confidence that they meet the high standards for quality, safety and performance your organization demands.  FM Approvals is part of FM Global, one of the industry's most trusted resources for third-party certification and insurance-driven loss prevention product standards.

Here are four reasons why you should buy FM Approved Fabrics:

1.         Third party certification reinforces safety fabric selection

2.         Choosing the right fabric is quicker and easier

3.         Lowers the risk of industrial fires

4.         Protects valuable resources

Sellstrom has over 85 years of design and manufacturing state-of-the-art safety products that meet the toughest standards and regulations. Sellstrom has extensive experience with hazard assessment, as well as, performance-oriented products to meet the needs of the industrial workplace. In addition, our well trained sales personnel possess the product knowledge necessary to choose the best solution available. Sellstrom offers many different fabrics for welding and hot work, with over half of them FM Approved.

So why trust your operations to cheap imported fabrics without Sellstrom quality…or FM Approval? The fact is, if you're not adequately managing the risk of fire and other hot work dangers at your facilities, the consequences could be costly.

FM Approval Standard 4950 was developed to cover a wide range of hot work operations within three general categories: Welding Pads, Welding Blankets and Welding Curtains. Sellstrom can help you choose your hot work protection. Call our Customer Service Department for more information at 1.800.323.7402. 

• FM Approve Welding Blankets are heat resistant fabrics designed to be placed in the vicinity of a hot work operation.
• Intended for use in horizontal applications with light to moderate exposures such as that resulting from chipping, grinding, heat treating, sand blasting, and light horizontal welding.
• When properly used, designed to prevent the ignition of combustibles such as wood that are located adjacent to the underside of the blanket.
• Note: Blankets may be used as curtains.

Caution: All fabrics are potentially subject to burn-through. To be effective, fabrics used for welding protection purposes must be utilized as part of a fire prevention system. They should always be employed in accordance with the procedures set forth in NFPA 51B Hot Work Standards.
