1 Wenaas Offshore A new and innovative collection redefining the standard for flame retardant workwear

2 WE HELP OIL AND GAS COMPANIES DO THEIR JOB In 1931, Lars Wenaas started up a small garment factory in the cellar of his home in Måndalen, on the north-western coast of Norway. This would prove to be the start of the Norwegian industrial adventure Wenaas. Through hard work, good salesmanship and strong focus, several generations of the Wenaas family built the foundations for the company that is now known as Kwintet Norway. The business has consistently focused on selling workwear and personal protective equipment directly to Norwegian industrial companies. This focus has provided us with unique specialist expertise in safety products and the industries we operate in, making us the customer s preferred supplier and advisor. Our long experience, specialist knowledge and complete assortment has made us the market leader in Norway. Oil and gas companies operating in the North Sea choose us time and again. We are proud of the trust they show in us, and try to exceed their expectations every day.

3 SpeCialist from HEAD-TO-TOE In a world full of generalists, we have chosen to cultivate the role of a specialist. Both when it comes to product and industry. Our products must provide protection against everything from water to heat, from dust to falls, and from cold to flames from head-to-toe and from inside to outside. With the Norwegian climate as our laboratory, we have worked for more than decades to develop products and solutions that help our customers and users do their job. Be the best advisor and supplier, we have to understand our customers needs and demands when it comes to workwear and personal protective equipment. We have this knowledge. Our products are developed in close co-operation between our product developers and end-users, with focus on carefully selected functionality, good fit and excellent quality, of course certified according to the latest EN standards. Different industries have different needs. Our job is to distinguish between them. RIGHT PRODUCT RIGHT TIME RIGHT PRICE Our job is to make the working day simple and safe for our customers and their employees. That is why we take ownership of the entire value chain. This means direct selling with no expensive intermediaries. Direct customer service. Flexible ordering solutions. Efficient logistics from our central warehouse in Norway. Customers of Kwintet Norway can feel secure in the knowledge that the products are in stock at prices they know. With our extensive CSR programme, they can also rest assured that all our products are manufactured under sustainable conditions.

4 WE PROTECT THE COMPANY S MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE We are experts when it comes to clothing to protect industrial workers in hazardous working environments, and we have set the standard for flame retardant workwear. We want to continue this work. Wenaas is a pioneer within flame retardant clothing, and we have contributed to protecting oil and gas workers in the North Sea since the beginning of the industry. Our mission is to protect people at work with our extensive competency. For decades we have been the industry s preferred supplier of flame retardant workwear, and operators and contractors in the North Sea continue to choose Wenaas. We are proud of the trust that our customers place in us. Work in the offshore industry happens under extreme conditions bringing high levels of expectation and demand on the workwear used. The safety of our users is always our highest priority when we develop new products, and we refuse to compromise. Wenaas products satisfy the stringent safety requirements stipulated in the industry, and are of course certified according to the latest EN standards. The Wenaas W has acquired a special significance for our users. It symbolises safety and provides the user with a sense of security. It means that the workwear is well suited for the work at hand. With the W on the chest, the user can concentrate on doing the job at hand safely and comfortably.

5 THE EXPERT IN PROTECTING PEOPLE AT WORK In we will launch a completely new Wenaas Offshore collection that has been especially developed for the industry. The collection includes a new and innovative range of multinorm garments that will set a new standard for flame retardant workwear. All the garments have an updated fit and the unlined garments follow a numeric sizing system. Wearer trials have shown that the garments fit comfortably on the body, and the users like the new contemporary fitting. Wearing the right size is important to achieve optimal protection and comfort. The collection is therefore offered in numeric sizes. Everyone can find a size that fits. The good fit and numeric sizing system offer increased comfort and mobility for the user and even more important increased safety in hazardous work situations. For several of the new models, we have chosen Daletec fabrics, as these are durable fabrics with a high standard with regards to both protection and comfort. In addition, we have very good experience with Daletec s fabrics when it comes to shrinkage and colour fastness.

6 OFFSHORE MULTINORM Our new Offshore Multinorm collection is not only new it is also the first of its type on the market. Multinorm means that the garments are certified according to several EN standards. The garments therefore provide optimal protection for users working in environments where there is a danger of exposure to several risks in the course of a working day. By selecting multinorm garments, users across various work areas can also wear the same type of clothing. This means simplified stocking and rationalised purchasing. At the same time, employees appear representative and uniform. The garments satisfy the requirements according to EN ISO 11612, EN and EN Winter garments are also certified according to EN 343 and EN 342.

10 PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE Wearing the appropriate underwear and mid layer garments is important to provide the user with optimal comfort and protection against risks in the working environment, including a tough North Sea climate. Our range therefore includes a wide selection of flame retardant underwear and mid layer garments from our business partner Devold Protection, the leading producer of this type of clothing on the European market Devold Spirit A range of dual layer underwear made from Lenzing FR and merino wool, which significantly reduces the risk of 2nd and 3rd degree burns. Good protection against both coldness and flames, in combination with the garments light weight and excellent comfort, makes this the most advanced flame retardant underwear on the market. The knitting structure combined with merino wool allows these multi-functional garments to absorb moisture from your body and transport it to the outer layer, where it evaporates Devold SpirIT QUALITY 50% Lenzing FR, 50% merino wool, 230 g/m 2 10 black standard EN , EN ISO A1 A2 B1 C1 TYPE Devold Spirit T-shirt, size S-3XL TYPE Devold Spirit Shirt, round neck, long sleeve, size S-5XL TYPE Devold Spirit Zip Neck, turtle neck with zipper, size XS-5XL TYPE Devold Spirit Long Johns, wide elastic band in waist size, S-5XL TYPE Devold Spirit Long Johns Lady, wide elastic band in waist, size XS-XL TYPE Devold Spirit Balaclava, covers head and neck, one size TYPE Devold Spirit Headover, can be used as a collar, one size TYPE Devold Spirit Boxer, wide elastic band in waist, size S-3XL

11 Devold safe Versatile wool underwear that covers the need for protection in environments where one is exposed to heat and flame during the work day. Devold Safe is knitted with Lenzing FR and merino wool, with polyamide reinforcement. Due to the high content of merino wool, Devold Safe keeps your body dry and comfortable, even during high activity. A separate test performed by an independent certification institute demonstrated that if one of the new Wenaas Offshore coveralls in a 350 g/m² fabric from Daletec is worn in combination with Devold Safe underwear, the user is protected against an electrical arc up to 7kA (EN class 2). DEVOLD SHIELD A range of underwear and mid layer clothing suitable for working environments where the user handles electricity, gas, heat and flames. Devold Shield is knitted with FR Lenzing and merino wool with reinforcements in polyamide. In addition, Nega-Stat is included, a special yarn which gives the garments optimal antistatic protection. Devold Shield also protects against arcing and electrical flashover. The garments are terry knitted which provides a layer of air between the body and the garment that insulates against both cold and heat Devold Safe QUALITY 49% Lenzing FR, 39% merino wool, 10% polyamide, 2% NEGA-STAT, 200 g/m 2 10 black standard EN , EN ISO A1 A2 B1 C1, EN TYPE Devold Safe T-shirt, size XS-2XL Type Devold Safe Shirt, long sleeve, size XS-2XL Type Devold Safe Bra, size S-2XL Type Devold Safe Long Johns, size S-3XL Devold ShieLD QUALITY 49% Lenzing FR, 39% merino wool, 10% polyamide, 2% NEGA-STAT, 280 g/m 2 10 black standard EN , EN ISO A1 A2 B1 C1, EN TYPE Devold Shield Shirt, long sleeve TYPE Devold Shield Zip Neck TYPE Devold Shield Jacket TYPE Devold Shield Long Johns

12 TESTED AND APPROVED A Manikin Burn Test carried out by an independent testing laboratory at North Carolina State University shows that the use of flame retardant underwear significantly reduces the extent of 2nd and 3rd degree burns compared to wearing normal cotton underwear. The test was carried out by means of a manikin, fitted with 150 heat sensors, being dressed in new Wenaas Offshore garments and regular cotton underwear, and then exposed to a 4 second sea of flames. The manikin was then dressed in new Wenaas Offshore garments and Devold Spirit flame retardant underwear, and again exposed to a 4 second flash fire. At 50% burns on the body, there is a high risk of loss of life. The chance of surviving burns is also affected by age, as the body becomes less resistant to serious burns as it ages. When the manikin is exposed to the flames, the heat sensors measure the penetration of heat in to the skin and indicate whether there have been 2nd or 3rd degree burns at the relevant point on the body. The total gives an indication of what proportion of the body is burned. In addition to burns, there can also be scolding injuries due to moisture (perspiration). If the body s own moisture remains on the skin, it can become so hot when heated that it boils. It is therefore extremely important to wear flame retardant underwear that has good moisture transportation properties. The test showed that when wearing the new Wenaas Offshore Daletec 350A coverall together with Devold Spirit flame retardant underwear, the extent of 2nd and 3rd degree burns was reduced by 13%. The test also showed that when wearing the new Wenaas Offshore 220A coverall together with Devold Spirit flame retardant underwear, the extent of 2nd and 3rd degree burns was reduced by a massive 29%.
