Safety Equipment

 1) INSULATING GLOVES
Insulating gloves offer personal hand protection for workers
against electrical shocks when working near or on live wires,
cables and electrical equipment including substation switchgear
and transformers – risk assessment identifies electrical shock
during the jointing of cables or excavating around live cables as
a potential cause of accident which can be avoided when
appropriate safety precautions and gloves are worn.

 2) LEATHER PROTECTOR GLOVES

Worn over rubber insulating gloves to help provide the
mechanical protection needed against cuts, abrasions and
punctures.
 3) ARC FLASH
Arc flash suits are designed to provide
protection from arc flash heat
exposures. Arc flash suits are designed
to protect the electrical technician
from heat and to reduce or minimize
total burn injury. This helps to provide
the user with extra seconds of
protection to help escape possible
secondary explosions or fires in the work area. Arc Flash suits can increase the chances
of survival. Arc Flash suits will decrease the need for medical treatment such as skin
grafts and the reduction in chances of subsequent infections.

 4) HELMET or HARD HAT

designed to reduce the risk of injury such as impact
from particles or debris, light or radiation, wind blast,
heat, sea spray or impact from some type of ball or
puck used in sports.

 7) SAFETY HARNESS

A form of protective equipment designed to protect a

person, animal, or object from injury or damage. The
harness is an attachment between a stationary and
non-stationary object and is usually fabricated from
rope, cable or webbing and locking hardware.

 Hand Tools

 12) SCREWDRIVERS
These tools are made of hard steel and are tempered at the tip to loosen or tighten
screws with slotted heads. Usually, it is recommended to purchase screw drivers in a
complete set so that you have one for every kind of screw. Screwdrivers can be availed
in different shapes and size, mainly including:

 Standard/Flat Screw Driver: It is a

wedge-shaped driver resembling a negative
sign at the tip and is used for driving screws
with a single slot head.
 Philips Screw Driver: It has a cross
tip resembling a positive (+) sign and used to
drive screws with cross slot heads.

shank or blade and is used in tight spaces
where a standard screw driver can’t be
used.

 13) WRENCH
A wrench is used to turn objects, usually rotary
fasteners like nuts and bolts, or to keep them from
turning. The main function is to drive screws with
hexagonal slot heads or Allen-headed screws. In
other words, it is used to drive screws in places
where regular screw drivers don’t work.
 14) Utility Knife

without damaging the interior wire. Manual modes
need some caution during use while the automatic
ones allow even the first-time users to remove
insulation quickly.
These tools are equipped with different sized cutting
teeth for various sized wires and have a cutoff portion
in order to cut the wire.

 21) HAMMER
A hammer is a handheld tool used to strike another
object. It consists of a handle to which is attached a
heavy head, usually made of metal, with one or more
striking surfaces. But, Electrician hammers may look
like common carpentry hammers, but they have
distinct differences that allow them to be used for
electrical applications. The fiberglass handle will not
conduct electrical power from an accidental short
against a live wire.

TOOLS AND DEVICES

select the measurement function and a pair of test leads
for connecting the device to the circuit.

 28) LCR METER

LCR meters are used for measuring inductance,
capacitance, and resistance involved in an electronic
setup. These are available in two variants- a low-cost
version and a high-cost version. The former one
measures the total impedance of a component while
the latter measures all the impedance of the
components, equivalent series resistance (ESR) and
the Quality (Q) factor of the component.

and electrical conduit. Made of a narrow band of spring steel, by
careful manipulation, the tape can be guided through confined
spaces such as wall cavities or conduits in many countries
 47) PVC WIRE
PVC coated wire as the PVC forms the insulation. The advantage
of PVC wire is that it is adequate for most situations and the
ends are easy to strip to make connections. However it can melt
or in severe cases it can burn when it becomes hot. Also when it
is cold, the PVC becomes brittle and can crack if bent.
