When temperatures rise, so does the worker’s risk of heat related illness and fatality. The challenge for electrical workers has been balancing the strict requirements for arc rated personal protective equipment and the need to stay hydrated and cool despite the heat. Oberon has addressed this by utilizing its ingenuity and vast knowledge of arc flash protection to engineer an arc rated backpack solution with a fully encapsulated water reservoir and drinking system.
