Insulated Rubber Blankets & Tools To Protect You
When working in the field, you need to feel confident that your PPE (personal protective equipment) is performing as intended for the protection against accidental contact with energized apparatus to ensure the electrical integrity of your PPE. It is important that you properly care for and maintain the insulated equipment. In this blog, we take a closer look at insulated blankets and insulated tools.
Insulated Blankets
Insulated covers and blankets are items designed to protect electrical workers from the risk of accidental contact while working on live or energized equipment. There are plenty of options when it comes to covering live equipment, so it’s imperative you know your working voltage.
You can use insulation sheets and blankets to cover exposed live parts that could potentially come into contact with a worker’s body parts that may not be completely protected with PPE. The use of insulated rubber blankets can thus prevent injury and death by providing protection from electrical shock. They are generally used by a qualified worker when they are closer than the safe distance to an energized line. These conductive materials should be covered by insulated rubber blankets before working on them as they act as shields against the electrical current’s flow.
Insulated Tools
Much like insulated rubber blankets, insulated tools assist in preventing current from a live source through the tool. It is designed with protection in mind to ensure the workers’ safety to the highest degree.
