Electrical Safety: dielectric gloves, mats and LOTO

Choose by voltage (up to 1000 V or above) and never use a lower class on higher voltage.

Up to 1000 V dielectric gloves are primary protection, while mats and boots are supplementary.

Before servicing, isolate the equipment and lock it with a LOTO lock and tag so no one can switch it on.

Dielectric equipment is rated by maximum voltage and must be periodically tested. Read how to read PPE markings, standards and replacement requirements.

Electrical work must be done only by qualified staff. Read how to choose electrical protection and switching devices.

Check gloves for holes before every use by rolling them from the cuff.
