Posted on October 17th, 2019 by Steve Foster It is hard to believe it has been almost a year ago since the last change of the Peak Stage Times (PST) for Steel Challenge. As anticipated, there will be some changes to the PSTs in some of the fastest and growing divisions in the sport.

With OSHA now requiring utility workers to wear Flame Retardant Clothing (FRC) for their personnel protection while at work, a concern has been raised as to “Can I use DEET Insect Repellent on my FR Clothing like I did on my regular work clothes?” In the past there was not much thought of the effects of DEET being applied to non-FR Clothing for mosquito protection in the work place. But with the new changes in Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) requirements, the concern about the effects DEET has on FR Clothing needed to be addressed. It was determined that DEET needed...
