How to Protect Your Workers From Electric Shock

Working with electricity and high-voltage equipment can be dangerous and even fatal.

Just one slip can result in death or serious injury.

Rubber insulating gloves are the first line of defence, offering their wearers protection against shock and electrocution.

Here’s how they keep your hands and arms safe in high-voltage environments:
-rubber does not conduct electricity. This is why rubber is often used to make electrical cords and plugs.
-rubber stops electric currents from travelling through your skin, making it a reliable type of protection against shock.

As with all protective equipment, your rubber insulating gloves will only work effectively if you take proper care of them.

Be sure to get your gloves tested by Tex At Site regularly to make sure that they are still electrically safe.
