Rubber-Insulated Gloves: Critical Protection for Electrical Hazards

At Advanced Safety Supply, we understand the challenges:

• Ensure his team stays compliant and safe.

• Need to find reliable, cost-effective gloves that meet safety standards.

• Reducing incidents and maintaining OSHA compliance.

What Are Rubber-Insulated Gloves?

Rubber-insulated gloves are classified by their voltage protection and are typically made from natural rubber or a synthetic equivalent. They’re categorized by class, ranging from Class 00 (up to 500V) to Class 4 (up to 36,000V).

These gloves are often paired with leather protectors to prevent damage and extend service life.

Why They Matter

• Electrical Safety Compliance: OSHA and NFPA 70E require proper PPE for electrical work.

• Shock Protection: Prevent fatal shocks during energized work.

• Arc Flash Risk Reduction: Essential when working around high-voltage equipment.

How to Choose the Right Rubber-Insulated Gloves

Here are a few things to consider when sourcing:

• Voltage Rating (Class 00–4)

• Size and Fit for dexterity and comfort

• Inspection Requirements (gloves must be tested every 6 months)

• Leather Protectors for mechanical protection

• Certifications (ASTM D120, IEC standards)

We offer a wide range of rubber-insulated gloves that meet these criteria, and our team is available to help with fit, protection class, and compliance needs.

Safety Tip

Make sure to visually inspect and air test gloves before every use. Store them properly in a cool, dark place away from contaminants to extend their lifespan.
