IMAGINE AN OSHA INSPECTION GONE WRONG
During a routine inspection, OSHA compliance officers discovered that a company’s field technicians were using rubber insulating gloves that had not undergone required electrical testing for over a year. Because the employer knowingly ignored the strict six-month recertification cycle for both medium and high-voltage PPE, the agency issued a willful citation carrying a substantial financial penalty of up to $500 per pair for exposing workers to severe electrocution hazards.

Why Companies Use the NFP Glove Testing Program
Companies like that we recommend them to have (2) sets of rubber gloves, with each set being a different color. For example, Black for January thru June, and Red for July thru December.
- Companies like the fact that we follow up in 5 months to let them know that their rubber gloves will be expiring soon and it is time to get them tested, or it is time to use there other colored set.
- Companies like keeping their gloves tested every (6 months) by qualified Technicians, giving them peace of mind that their employees are safe and avoiding OSHA fines.

Insulating electrical gloves are critical PPE (personal protective equipment) for electrical work on or near exposed energized parts. Electrical gloves must be rated for the voltage to which a worker will be exposed (phase to ground or phase to phase) and marked to indicate their rating. There are different classes of electrical gloves and our staff can provide you with the right class for the voltage that you will be working on. The classes are as follows: Class 00 / Class 0 / Class 1 / Class 2 / Class 3 / and Class 4.
