what glove rating is required for electrical work
Insulating Gloves and Sleeves Insulating gloves and sleeves are critical PPE for electrical work on or near exposed energized parts. The 269 standard (1910.269(l)(2)(i) and (l)(3)) requires that: Additionally, 1910.137 provides specific design, care, and use requirements for rubber electrical protective equipment. Insulating gloves and sleeves must be rated for the voltage to which a worker will be exposed (phase to ground or phase to phase) and marked to indicate their rating. 1910.137 recognizes Class 0 (up to 1KV) through Class 4 (up to 36KV) rubber equipment.
