Derek Sang is regarded as one of the foremost experts in the field of flame-resistant (FR) clothing. He possesses a unique ability to communicate the complexities of this ever-evolving subject in a clear, practical manner that is accessible to a broad range of audiences — from skilled tradespeople to experienced safety professionals. His presentations are both informative and engaging, grounded in deep industry knowledge and real-world application. I offer my highest recommendation for Derek Sang as a speaker; his insight and professionalism make him a valuable resource for any organization seeking to strengthen its FR program.

I had the privilege of hearing Derek present at the North Dakota Safety Conference in January 2005, where he spoke on the critical importance of the proper selection, use, and care of Flame-Resistant and Arc-Rated clothing. His presentation was not only highly engaging but also deeply informative, delivering technical information in a way that was clear, practical, and relatable for both safety leaders and frontline workers alike. I was so impressed that I invited him to speak at our Alltricity Safety Conference just two months later in Phoenix. His passion for protecting today's workers in high-risk environments was evident throughout his talk.

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Derek Sang of Bulwark, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Derek's depth of knowledge in AR/FR (arc-rated and flame-resistant) clothing is unmatched. He not only understands the science and standards behind protective apparel but also has a unique ability to translate that technical expertise into practical, real-world guidance for companies and workers. His sessions are well organized, full of valuable information, and delivered in a way that resonates with both safety professionals and frontline workers.

Derek Sang's presentation is thorough, highly informative, and tailored to the needs of the arc flash safety industry. He combines deep knowledge with practical experience, providing valuable insight into the most modern FR/AR uniforms available in the market today. Attendees come away with a clear understanding of how critical proper workwear is to daily safety, as well as how the right PPE choices can save lives.

We invited Derek to present at UPPCO and he did not disappoint. Derek gave an insightful engaging presentation on FR/AR to our employees. He came highly recommended from employees who saw the presentation at the IP Safety Conference. He was able to relate to our work group and made the topic of FR/AR engaging. Our workers really enjoyed the presentation and came away more educated and revitalized than before the training. They left understanding the importance of FR clothing and the 'Why's' behind them.

Derek has a very unique story that is engaging and gets people to look at FR, PPE, and Safety from a new angle. I have seen several of his presentations, and always take new knowledge away from them. He is a tremendous speaker and an asset to anyone fortunate to connect with him.

I saw a presentation that Derek gave on FR/AR clothing while I was at a safety conference last year. I returned to my work and shared with others how great the presentation was. I suggested reaching out to him to see if we could get him to come to our site. He was more than willing to visit our site and share his expertise. The way that he presents the safety side of clothing and all aspects of it, is perfect. He talks about wearing the clothing correctly, taking proper care of it and washing and cleaning it. 10/10 rating for Derek!

When considering a speaker on a technical subject like Arc Flash protection, Derek is a clear and authentic leader. He is clear about the problem he is helping solve, the main mission of FR Clothing and his anecdotes, stories and examples are strong measures that align with both his long term mission and the problem he helps us solve. I recommend Derek without hesitation as someone that can help initiate and implement real learning that can affect positive change in our industry.

With respect to FR, Derek is by far one of the most knowledgeable people I have met. He doesn't just talk about the science behind the material, he brings in real life scenarios and provides his audience with valuable information so they can think and understand the consequences of failing to wear their FR PPE correctly. I had Derek provide a program that opened with his presentation and then expanded to a burn center presentation and real life injured people. A win-win for all. I highly recommend Derek and his presentation to anyone who wears FR while they perform their work.
