When it comes to electrical safety PPE, you need to know if the hazard they’re asking about is electrical shock, arc flash or both. If it’s related to shock, the tests required by the standards will help answer most of the questions for you. Arc flash is not as cut-and-dried and, although the standards provide some guidance, safety professionals typically must use their best judgement. There are also two distinctly different categories this question falls into. One is related to safety and the other involves the financial impact.

It is essential to understand all the conditions that can create explosive environments. While many workplaces might seem safe, there could be hidden dangers that require the proper equipment to enter them safely.

Of increasing interest is the “test it as you use it” approach. While AC is the primary method of electrical testing, the ASTM Specifications for Electrical Protective Equipment for Workers do include both AC and DC test voltages and maximum use voltages for safety. Therefore, it makes sense to DC test electrical gloves for use in applications or environments where there is exposure to DC energized circuits and equipment.

Safety is everyone’s responsibility. In this post, we look at each level of the organization and their respective contributions to the safety of both the individual and the industry as a whole.

Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHSCA) is responsible for approximately 350,000 deaths in the U.S. annually and is responsible for twice as many fatalities than all other workplace injuries combined.

Do you know what level of protection your employees are receiving from their hearing protectors? Now you can with a field attenuation estimation system (FAES). FAES is a quantitative method for individual fit testing hearing protection devices (HPDs). This blog describes the 3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Dual-Ear Validation System and the value it can provide for your hearing loss prevention program (HLPP).

Voltage-rated gloves and leather protectors are a worker’s first line of defense against electrical shock, but there continues to be industry-wide confusion around the usage of these two products as a system for optimal protection against electrical shock.
