What do your companies supply for Arc Flash gear and Insulated Tools, and what do you require the guys to supply?
I have seen the companies that I have been involved with supply:
Any hot work required a permit signed by the guy doing the work, the building owner, and the project manager.
What is the standard for equipment that most companies supply for arc flash and hot work?
Edit: If the company supplies the gear, do you outfit each service van or have to share the equipment between crews?
I have seen the companies that I have been involved with supply:
- The outer overalls or pants and jacket
- The helmet with faceshield and hood
- High voltage gloves with the rubbers turned in every 6 months and exchanged for currently tested ones.
- Insulated blankets and matts
- Insulated tool kits. To be used only on hot work
Any hot work required a permit signed by the guy doing the work, the building owner, and the project manager.
