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.

How the Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt Is Made
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.
Lighter Weight
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.
Safer
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.
More Comfortable
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.
How to Size the Bulwark iQ Series Endurance Work Shirt
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.
How to Measure Height
You’ll want to measure for height first, which will also come in handy for other garment measurements you may need. Often, individuals will know their height. But, if they don’t, here’s how to measure for it
- Have the individual remove their shoes.
- Stand the individual up tall against a wall.
- Have the individual hold a ruler or flat object on top of their head.
- Use a tape measure to measure from the straight object down to the floor.
How to Measure Sleeves
- Have the individual hold their arms out parallel to the floor.
- Have the individual bend their elbow into their chest. Think of it like saluting your collarbone. This will help you accurately measure in a way that allows a shirt freedom of movement.
- Use a tape measure to measure from the base of the neck down to the elbow, then down to the wrist bone—all in one measurement.
How to Measure Neck
- Pull any long hair away from neck.
- Wrap tape measure snugly around the neck, inside the collar and against the skin.
- Place two fingers between the tape and the neck.
- Take your measurement.
How to Measure Chest
- Have the individual stand with a straight and natural posture with their arms lifted up.
- Use a tape measure to measure the fullest part of the chest.
- With the tape measure still wrapped around the chest, have the individual lower their arms.
- Hold the tape firm, but not tight. The tape should be level across the body and back. Take your measurement.
What to Do With Measurements
