    Question EH rated, now ARC rated line boots?

    Our company is in the process of writing new policy on our line boots. It started out that an EH rating would be required. Now, they are talking about an Arc, or Flash rating too! Personally I think it is a little over kill. What is required at your companies?
    From what I can tell they are reading into the regs on Clothing, not footwear. No Nylon, Rayon, etc. allowed on the boot? Leather only. I have'nt heard of there being a rash of accidents where the lineman's boots were melted to there feet in a flash, but what do I know!
    What sucks is our boot allowance is 100 bucs a year.
