Working on energized high-voltage equipment requires specific personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against electrical shock, arc flash, and other hazards. The primary goal of PPE is to insulate the worker from energized conductors and limit the energy exposure in case of an arc flash. Insulating gloves are a critical piece of PPE. These gloves are made of rubber and are rated for specific voltage levels. They must be inspected before each use for any signs of damage, such as cuts, punctures, or swelling. Leather protector gloves are worn over the rubber insulating gloves to protect them from physical damage. Insulating sleeves provide additional protection for the arms. They are made of th....
