Onsite PPE Assessments
How do you keep track of your PPE inventory? Does your team have the right PPE they need to effectively and safely perform their work tasks? Is managing your PPE inventory a challenge?
We can help with an onsite PPE assessment and review. We can work with you to provide an initial onsite PPE audit and a go-forward plan to manage all of your electrical specific PPE, tools and equipment testing and certification.
Includes:
- Complete electrical specific arc flash and shock PPE review
- Written report provided with observations, recommendations and corrective actions
- Identify PPE that requires testing
- Establish PPE inventory list for internal tracking and maintenance purposes
Rubber Insulating Gloves
Rubber Insulating Gloves are designed and constructed to act as a barrier between the user and the energy/voltage to insulate the user from electric shock. They must be tested before first issue and every six months thereafter or earlier if the insulating value is suspect, after repair, and after use without protectors.
OSHA requires that “protective equipment be maintained in a safe, reliable condition.” Gloves should be inspected for tears, holes, ozone cuts and other defects before each use. Gloves should also be inspected for any swelling or chemical contamination.
Glove Testing Services
If the electrical gloves show any signs of these defects upon inspection, they should be taken out of service for cleaning and retesting (even if they haven’t met the six month “in-service” rule). We recommend every worker have a second pair of gloves on hand just in case.
