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. [See Mr. Edwin Hill Interpretation Letter (September 27, 2005)].
Baseball players get attached to their mitts, which means that finding a new baseball glove can be a challenge, especially if you are unsure of the appropriate size. Luckily, measuring your glove hand is fairly easy. After the size of your hand is determined, you know the appropriate size of glove to purchase. You may also want to consider color and specific sizes meant for each position on the field. However, many people feel that the size of the glove does not matter, with certain exceptions, such as a catcher's mitt. Generally, if a glove fits like it should, it works. If this is not the case, it is generally easy to work the glove and break it in, in order to help it form around your hand properly over time.
