No rubber insulating glove is safe forever.

It is (and has been) common practice for rubber insulating gloves to be inspected daily before use and periodically retested at an electrical testing facility. ASTM F496 Standard Specification for In-Service Care of Insulating Gloves and Sleeves has provided guidance.

Previously, section 7 of ASTM F496 was subject to interpretation and misunderstanding regarding the maximum test interval for either new gloves or in-service gloves. In 2024, the ASTM Committee F18 (Electrical Protective Equipment for Workers) addressed this issue with an update to the ASTM F496 standard clarifying the difference between new gloves (reference 7.1.1) and gloves previously put into service (reference 7.1.2).

Register to attend our upcoming Safeopedia webinar in partnership with PIP Global Safety: “Rubber Insulating Gloves 101: Safety, Compliance, and OSHA Requirements”, to learn all about this and more!

Were you aware that between 2011-2023 there was a total of 1,940 workplace fatalities involving electricity, 74% of which occurred in non-electrically related occupations (according to the most recent data from the BLS and OSHA)?

OSHA rules and the NFPA 70E standard require the use of rubber insulating products when even the smallest probability of contact with 50 volts AC or higher exist. Regardless of the heavy fines, serious injuries, and deaths that occur from arc flash and electrical incidents, compliance continues to remain an issue.

Register to attend our upcoming Safeopedia webinar in partnership with PIP Global Safety: “Rubber Insulating Gloves 101: Safety, Compliance, and OSHA Requirements”, to learn about the greater need for rubber insulating gloves and the requirements for in-service inspection and care for continued safety, compliance, and cost savings from the experts.
