SafetyQuestion 429 of 521
Rubber insulating gloves used for energized work on a 480V system must be:
a.Rated for the voltage, worn with leather protectors, and inspected/air-tested before use
b.Any leather work glove that fits
c.Cotton gloves worn under nitrile gloves
d.Only required for work above 1,000 volts
Explanation
Voltage-rated rubber gloves must match or exceed the system voltage, be worn with leather protector gloves to prevent mechanical damage, and be inspected (and often air-tested) before each use. Leather or cotton alone provide no shock protection, and shock protection is required well below 1,000 volts.
