Rubber Insulating Gloves Testing

Rubber Insulating Gloves Testing

WARNING: Always inspect gloves before each use to prevent high-voltage shock. High-voltage insulated safety gloves with a leather outer glove are required to service some components of this vehicle where specified in the service procedures. All high-voltage insulated safety gloves must meet or exceed ANSI/ASTM class 00. Refer to Rubber Insulating Gloves Testing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death.

NOTE: The high-voltage insulated safety gloves must be recertified every 6 months to remain within OSHA guidelines.

1. Leather gloves must always be worn over the rubber insulating gloves in order to protect them.

2. The gloves should not be used if they show any signs of wear and tear.

3. Roll the glove up from the open end until the lower portion of the glove begins to balloon from the resulting air pressure. If the glove leaks any air, it must not be used.

4. Rubber insulating gloves must be class "00" and meet all of the American Society for Testing and Materials standards.
