Electrical Safety, Inspection and Testing
Only qualified workers following an employer-approved electrical safety program should use rubber insulating gloves. De-energize equipment whenever required and feasible, and never exceed the voltage class marked on the gloves. Leather protectors do not provide electrical insulation by themselves.
Ironwear states that these gloves normally ship with the factory test performed at production and without secondary testing. Before first issue, verify that the electrical test date satisfies OSHA requirements and the employer's program. OSHA requires rubber insulating gloves to be tested before first issue and every six months after first issue; additional testing is required when insulating value is suspect, after repair, and after use without protectors. Gloves electrically tested but not yet issued cannot be placed into service unless they were tested within the previous 12 months.
Inspect the gloves before each day's use and after any incident that could cause damage, and perform an air test with the inspection. Remove gloves with holes, tears, punctures, cuts, ozone damage, embedded objects, texture changes, or other defects from service. Store the gloves without folding and protect them from light, temperature extremes, excessive humidity, ozone, oils, chemicals, and other damaging conditions.
FAQ - Ironwear 5052 Class 0 Electrical Glove Kit
What is included in the Ironwear 5052 kit?
The kit includes one pair of Ironwear 4770-B Class 0 rubber insulating gloves, one pair of Ironwear 4170 leather protector gloves, and one Ironwear 4176 canvas glove bag.
What is the maximum use voltage for the included gloves?
The included Class 0 rubber insulating gloves have a maximum use voltage of 1,000 V AC. The glove class must match the actual electrical exposure and the employer's approved work practices.
Are the leather protectors electrically insulating?
No. The rubber insulating gloves provide the electrical insulation. The leather protectors are worn over the rubber gloves to help protect them from mechanical damage.
Do the gloves arrive with a current secondary electrical test?
Not by default. Ironwear states that the gloves normally ship with only the factory test performed at production. Confirm the marked test date and arrange any required retesting before placing the gloves into service.
How often must rubber insulating gloves be electrically tested?
OSHA requires testing before first issue and every six months after first issue. Testing is also required when insulating value is suspect, after repair, and after use without leather protectors.
What sizes are available?
Ironwear lists sizes 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Select the required size before adding the kit to the cart.
Are the rubber gloves ozone-resistant?
No. The included gloves are Type I and are not ozone-resistant. Store and inspect them according to the manufacturer's instructions and the applicable electrical safety program.
What should I inspect before using the gloves?
Check the class and test-date markings, inspect the complete glove surface, and perform an air test. Do not use gloves with cuts, punctures, tears, ozone damage, embedded material, swelling, hardening, stickiness, loss of elasticity, or other defects.
