Tyndale USA has administered managed FR clothing programs for more than four decades, and today serves over 90% of investor-owned electric utilities plus a large share of industrial mechanical contractors. The core offering is a Managed Allowance Program: an employer sets a per-tech annual dollar budget or garment allotment, Tyndale publishes a custom company catalog of approved FR garments, and individual technicians log in to order their own sizes directly. Tyndale handles shipping, returns, exchanges, repairs, and compliance records.
For commercial HVAC, industrial refrigeration, and gas utility contractors, Tyndale covers the hazards that ordinary workwear cannot. The catalog includes arc-rated shirts, pants, coveralls, outerwear, and hi-vis FR for techs working near arc-flash, gas-fired equipment, rooftop utility ties, boiler rooms, or petrochemical HVAC systems. Tyndale's in-house technical team helps employers conduct hazard assessments, pick the right PPE Category (formerly HRC) level, and document it for OSHA and NFPA 70E compliance. On-site fit events bring Tyndale reps to a shop to measure every tech in person, which dramatically reduces return volume and gets a new hire into the right size faster than mail-order guessing.
Tyndale's differentiator vs. rental programs (Cintas/UniFirst/Alsco) is ownership and flexibility. Techs own their FR garments, so there is no weekly rental fee, no risk of a rental company losing a shirt, and each tech can replace worn pieces on their allowance cycle. For a commercial HVAC contractor with 25-300 techs rotating across industrial sites, this is often the most cost-effective and OSHA-defensible way to run an FR program.
