Provided is a fabric for personal protective equipment to protect a wearer from flame and/or arc flash, the fabric being three-layer fabric for personal protective equipment and including an outer layer, an inner layer, and an intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is an embossed layer having a three-dimensional embossed dot or stripe shape, and is in the form of a woven fabric including a warp yarn and a filling yarn that are interlocked with each other, wherein the warp yarn is a first composite spun yarn including a meta-aramid fiber, a flame retardant cellulose fiber, and an antistatic fiber and includes at least one of a meta-aramid filament yarn and a flame retardant cellulose filling yarn, and the filling yarn is a second composite spun yarn including a meta-aramid fiber, a flame retardant cellulose fiber, and an antistatic fiber, wherein the warp yarn and the filling yarn have different thermal shrinkage rates from each other. Personal protective equipment formed by using these special yarns and fabric structures meet the requirements of HRC levels 2 and 4, thereby not only effectively protecting a wearer from flame and/or arc flash, but also providing excellent durability, lightness, and high activity functions.
