OEL Worldwide Industries Unveils Highly Anticipated Women’s Arc Flash Clothing Line, Designed by Fashion Veteran Annie Bloj
Palmer Lake, Colorado – May 1st, 2025 — OEL Worldwide Industries, a global leader in electrical safety solutions, proudly announces the official launch of its first-ever Women’s Arc Flash Clothing Line, delivering an unprecedented combination of elite protection, professional fit, and cutting-edge design for women working in electrical, industrial, and utility sectors.
“DESIGNED FOR WOMEN, BY WOMEN”
To ensure the collection would set a new industry standard, OEL secured the design expertise of Annie Bloj, a renowned apparel designer with an impressive career at leading brands such as The GAP and J.Crew. Bloj’s decades of experience in merging technical functionality with refined style has helped OEL craft a line that is protective, flattering, and specifically engineered for female professionals.
Recognizing a longstanding void in the marketplace for properly fitting women's arc flash garments — where historically, women were forced to adapt ill-fitting men's PPE — OEL took decisive action. The company set out to develop a line of arc-rated apparel that puts women first, providing real-world protection, comfort, and performance without compromise.
“Women are a growing force in industries where electrical safety is critical, and they deserve gear designed with them in mind,” said Asa Dyer, CMO at OEL Worldwide Industries. “Our partnership with Annie Bloj allowed us to create a collection that finally addresses the critical need for PPE tailored specifically to women’s fit and function.”
“Designing this collection with OEL was about more than just making PPE for women — it was about rethinking how protection and performance should feel for the female workforce,” said Annie Bloj. “We started with the idea that safety should never come at the expense of fit, mobility, or confidence. This line is proof that you can have all three.”
The new Women’s Arc Flash Clothing Line features:
Tailored, ergonomic fits designed using real-world female body data
Freedom of Movement engineering for maximum flexibility and ease of wear
Lightweight, breathable, arc-rated fabrics for enhanced comfort
Compliance with NFPA 70E, CSA Z462, ASTM F1506, and OSHA 1910.269
Extended sizing options from XS to Plus Sizes for an inclusive fit
Every piece in the collection combines OEL’s signature safety-first engineering with Annie Bloj’s expertise in creating clothing that performs in tough environments while providing a polished, professional appearance.
The Women’s Arc Flash Line will be available starting May 1st, 2025 through authorized distributors, direct sales representatives, and at www.oelsales.com
