Undergarments are a critical component of effective PPE, as comprehensive protection relies on layers. While the outer layers are designed to address the specific risks of your industry, every layer beneath must also offer protection. CHARNAUD®’s specialized range of PPE includes undergarments and socks, ensuring that every piece of clothing your team wears safeguards them from extreme heat and cold encountered during their work.
Multiple Layers of Comfort and Protection
Each CHARNAUD® undergarment is specifically designed to suit the specific PPE range for which it was created. Whatever risks workers face in their line of work, their PPE must be designed to provide effective protection against those risks. That includes the underwear – including vests, socks, underpants – that they put on under their trousers, shirts, overalls and jackets every day. With this in mind, CHARNAUD® has developed undergarments for each range.

Examples of CHARNAUD®’s Specially Designed Undergarments
The SURVIVE-ARC® has been created for electrical workers who face the dangers of arc flash on a daily basis. Included in the collection is what appears to be a simple pair of boxer shorts. However, these have actually been made with special flame-resistant (FR) and arc-rated (AR) fabric to provide protection against the thermal effects of arc flash, flames and flash fires. Also included are special SURVIVE-ARC® thermal socks. These socks provide foot protection for multiple hazards in several industries, including utilities, oil and gas, mining, petrochemical, manufacturing, machinery and maintenance.
The ALU-SAFE® offers even more protection, providing an extra barrier against the risks of molten metal splash with 270G/M2 long johns.
Undergarments play a vital role in ensuring comprehensive personal protection. The SURVIVE-ARC® boxer shorts and ALU-SAFE® long johns are designed to be worn with outer garments from our other ranges, such as FIRE-SAFE® and METAL-SAFE®. Additionally, our product ranges include high-quality thermal socks to enhance overall protection.
It’s important to remember that effective personal protection isn’t about a single garment or layer of clothing. To safeguard yourself or your staff against workplace hazards, ensure that every layer, including undergarments, is specially designed for maximum safety.
