Join Zarheer Jooma of e-Hazard for another information-packed webinar! This one will cover one of the most important items of PPE an electrical worker should own and use.
Webinar: Utility and Industrial Awareness on Electrical Protection for Hands
Date: Thursday, May 15
Time: 1:00 pm EST, 10:00 pm PST
Do we need to use electrical gloves for testing an electrical outlet? What constitutes an electrical glove? What are the electrical hazards that warrant the use of hand protection? Can one glove work for all electrical hazards?
As an electrical worker or a safety practitioner, it’s imperative to understand hand protection. During this webinar, we’ll discuss multiple hazards and protection strategies against heat or cold, vibration, cut resistance, conductivity, electrical hazards (dielectric or voltage-rated), and gloves for use over other gloves. Hand protection and electrical hazards lead into the various standards that cover the specification, testing and maintenance of various gloves that an electrical worker may require. Hand protection is considered a complex topic, and this webinar is based on several real-life challenges that the presenter has personally experienced.
