Insulating Gloves and Sleeves Insulating gloves and sleeves are critical PPE for electrical work on or near exposed energized parts. The 269 standard (1910.269(l)(2)(i) and (l)(3)) requires that: Additionally, 1910.137 provides specific design, care, and use requirements for rubber electrical protective equipment. Insulating gloves and sleeves 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. 1910.137 recognizes Class 0 (up to 1KV) through Class 4 (up to 36KV) rubber equipment.
