CARE OF RUBBER GLOVES FOR ELECTRICAL WORKS FOR SAFETY

Issue rubber gloves to each lineman and inform the lineman of the following safety precautions and procedures:

• Store rubber gloves in a canvas bag when they are not in use.

• Give rubber gloves an air test each day before starting work and when encountering an object that may have damaged the gloves.

• Wash gloves with warm water and mild detergent.

Be careful when applying or removing rubber protective equipment. Do not work over energized conductors or equipment or get in a position that may result in unwanted contact with the equipment.

Dry rubber protective equipment before putting it away if possible.

Do not carry rubber protective equipment in compartments on trucks or in tool bags with tools or other equipment.

Roll, never fold, rubber blankets when putting them away.

Place rubber hoods and hoses flat in truck compartments.
