PPE recertification

[Benjy]

Is anyone testing gloves on a 6 month basis or are they just buying new ones?

Wasteful to buy new ones, testing is cheap.

Can anyone recommend a testing company for gloves to comply with ASTM F496?

Been using Reed City Power line for 15 years, even living in several different states. Good enough service for me to keep recomending them.

Can you test the gloves yourself with the inflator, or is the ASTM requirement for electrical resistance?

Look at OSHA 1910.137

Thanks Zog....my employer will be thrilled about doing that too. What is a ballpark cost for getting gloves tested?

That's probably less than it'll cost to ship 'em.

PPE Certification - Rubber Gloves

PPE Certification - Rubber Gloves

Testing is required and cheaper than buying new. We are jus t getting this program organized as it shoud have been. Can anyone recommend a couple of vendors for the testing and certification of the rubber gloves? We have used Powerline Supply in Michigan (home state), but looking to get and show competetive pricing. Anyone?

Is there such a glove that is rated 00 and is a composite of rubber and leather protector that is close fitting for dexterity?

Similar to mechanics gloves?

The only gloves that I have seen are the rubber gloves and leather protectors.

Are there any other types that are more dexterous?
