Typical Applications for Rubber Insulating Gloves

• Maintenance technicians working in amusement parks, hospitals, water plants, manufacturing plants, office buildings, and schools
• Power and communication utilities
• Electrical contracting and power generation
• Electrical supervisors
• Transportation - primarily rail
• Plant and facility maintenance
• Hybrid auto manufacturing, repair, and service
• Machine operators, maintenance millwrights, and mechanics
• HVAC technicians
• Elevator installers and technicians
• Field service technicians

Rubber insulating gloves have always been one of the most important components of PPE for electrical and industrial workers. The recent updates and changes in ASTM D120 and NFPA 70E have brought this product segment into the spotlight.

The natural rubber construction offers excellent dielectric properties combined with flexibility, strength, and durability. Other features include a contoured shape which reduces hand fatigue and rolled cuff for increased durability during donning and doffing.

Rubber gloves are tested and date stamped before they leave the factory. Once in use, gloves should be inspected daily and should be retested by a laboratory every 6 months.

• Gloves meet or exceed ASTM D120 and IEC EN60903 Standards.
• Voltage AC/DC Proof Test: 10,000 / 40,000
• Voltage AC/DC Max Use: 7,500 / 11,250

Salisbury recommends an alternating glove color program to assure all gloves are in the proper test cycle per OSHA and ASTM requirements. This program creates a visual reminder of the test cycle period by using one glove color for the first test period and a different color for the following test period. Continue alternating these two colors when a new test period begins. For example: Black/Red Class 1 gloves are worn for first test cycle period, then black Class 1 gloves are worn during the second test cycle period.

To get the utmost protection and life from gloves, leather protectors should always be worn over the rubber gloves while in use. Leather gloves should always be visually inspected before each use and stored in glove bags when not in use. Do not use your protectors without rubber insulated gloves.

• Glove Size: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
• Glove Length: 10" or 12" Gauntlet
• Glove Leather Protector: Class 00 and 0

Specially designed and manufactured to current ASTM F696 specifications as mechanical protection from 11" or 14" low voltage Class "0" and "00" rubber insulating gloves as described in ASTM D120. They allow the flexibility and dexterity required for secondary work operations.

Leather Protectors are to be used only for mechanical protection for rubber gloves and mittens and shall not be used for electrical protection per ASTM F696-02. The correct length of leather protectors is found in ASTM F496-06.

WARNING: Do not use leather protectors alone for protection against electric shock. Serious injury or death will result. Always use a properly rated insulating glove for the voltage being worked.

For thermal protection only. Not for Electric Shock protection nor use within Prohibited Approach boundary (NFPA 70E). Compliance with ASTM F1506 and NFPA 70E standard. Use with comparable Arc Rated (ATPV) Coat, Bib & Hood.

Determine the Correct Protection Level

To evaluate Fire Retardant clothing materials in order to measure the heat transferred through the fabric, two values are calculated: Arc Thermal Performance Value (ATPV)...the minimum energy causing the predicted onset of second-degree burns and Heat Attenuation Factor (HAF)...the percentage of total energy of the arc that the fabric prevents from passing through, OSHA requires that each employer must assess the potential hazards in the work environment and determine the appropriate clothing materials using ASTM PS57-97. Always do a hazard assessment. You will need to know electrical system voltage, fault current available, number of phases, Arc time duration, estimated Arc gap, minimum distance from the Arc, and Arc configuration.
