In high-voltage working environments, insulating gloves are critical safety equipment that protects workers from electric shock hazards. However, improper use and maintenance can turn these protective tools into potential risks. Qingdao Meiji Labor Products Co., Ltd presents this comprehensive guide to help you correctly use and maintain insulating gloves, ensuring optimal protection at all times.

Why Proper Use and Maintenance Matters

Insulating gloves serve as the last line of defense against electrical hazards. When compromised, they can fail catastrophically. According to safety statistics, approximately 30% of electrical accidents involve improper use or maintenance of protective equipment.

Choosing the Right Insulating Gloves

1.Voltage Level Matching

Select gloves rated for your specific working voltage

Class 00: Up to 500V AC

Class 0: Up to 1,000V AC

Class 1: Up to 7,500V AC

Class 2: Up to 17,000V AC

Class 3: Up to 26,500V AC

Class 4: Up to 36,000V AC

2.Quality Certification

Ensure gloves meet relevant international standards

Look for CE certification and ASTM standards compliance
