Frequently Asked Questions

Which standards govern dielectric glove programs?

OSHA 1910.137 establishes employer duties; ASTM D120 defines glove requirements; ASTM F496 covers in-service care, inspection, and electrical testing.

How often should in-service gloves be tested?

Common practice is electrical retest at intervals not to exceed 6 months, and after any suspected damage or repair. Gloves in storage are re-tested prior to issue per program rules.

Do I need leather protectors?

Leather protectors are strongly recommended during use to protect rubber gloves from mechanical damage; they must be compatible with class/length clearances.

Can you help with shipping logistics?

Yes—ask about pickup options or prepaid shipping kits to streamline your cycle.

Do you label and provide certificates?

Yes—gloves are date stamped/labeled and accompanied by a test certificate for your records.
