In 2010, the number of injuries and fatalities resulting from fires and explosions in the oil and gas industry was so high, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sent an official memo requiring all companies to provide workers with flame-resistant (FR) clothing.
That’s because injuries and fatalities caused by fires and explosions are almost always due to the victim’s uniform.
In fact, choosing the right flame-resistant clothing is a major decision for anyone outfitting workers in industries like oil and gas, facilities management, or electrical work.
That’s why we’ve put together this resource on the Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Enhanced Visibility Work Shirt. This FR work shirt is compliant, durable, and extremely comfortable—and it lasts 3X longer than anything else on the market. That makes it worth serious consideration as your go-to FR work shirt.

FR is built into the garment at the molecular level. This patented process ensures FR protection never washes off, no matter how many times the shirt is washed.
Unlike other FR clothing manufacturers, Bulwark guarantees the safety of its products in writing. The company also tracks each shirt’s full chain of custody, all the way back to the original bale of cotton—unlike secondary suppliers who don’t know much about the origin of the products they sell.
The Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt is designed to be the most comfortable FR work shirt available anywhere.

The Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt is designed to stay cool in the summer and dry quicker in the winter, thanks to moisture-wicking fabric. And it’s 10X more breathable than other FR clothing on the market.
The work shirt is designed with extra fabric so that it doesn’t come untucked when you’re reaching overhead or bending down.

Your team needs FR uniforms fast. When they don’t have their uniform, they can’t work. Fortunately, the Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt is available and ready to ship in both men and women’s fits with sizes up to 6XL.
The Bulwark iQ Series of FR work shirts, work pants, and coveralls are made using special fabric that makes them the safest, toughest, and most comfortable uniforms on the market today.
The iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt, like the rest of the iQ Series of garments, is made with Westex G2 fabrics by Milliken. These fabrics are made with a patented new molecule that makes them both safer and lighter weight than other FR clothing.
Because of the new molecule, these shirts are able to use a 65/35% cotton-polyester blend vs. the 100% heavyweight cotton blend used in other shirts.
The iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt is made using the latest in phosphorous- and nitrogen-based chemistry, which provides enhanced FR protection for wearers.
The inside of the garment is also made of a new, innovative Westex FR polyester, which has gone through extensive testing to ensure the material is non-melting at even higher temperatures.
Historically, FR clothing has not been known for its comfort. Although protective, these hot, heavy, bulky garments restricted movement, making work more challenging for the wearer.
But the special fabric used on the iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt is soft, moisture-wicking, and breathable, which makes the shirt more comfortable than other work shirts.
The Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt can be sized the same as any other uniform shirt. See below for a step-by-step guide on how to measure for height, sleeves, neck, and chest, so you can determine the most accurate fit for this work shirt.
