Personal protective equipment for electrical safety.

Accidents due to electrical risk that occur in the workplace can

generate negative effects or leave very serious clinical
consequences on the worker. Therefore, it is advisable that you take
into account the fundamental equipment that is duly certified to carry
out work in the field of electrical energy.

Dielectric Poles:
They are rods with very high dielectric capacity and high mechanical
resistance that are constructed from fiberglass including a
polyurethane core. They allow a large number of jobs to be carried
out with and without any voltage, such as opening and closing
disconnect switches. Also, replace fuses on the transformers. There
are three types: dielectric, telescopic, attachable and retractable
hook.
Insulating benches and mats:

They provide insulation to the worker in relation to the surface. They

prevent current from flowing through the body, making it a grounding
point through the contact of the feet. The mats with direelectric are
divided into: class 2, 3 and 4, depending on the electrical working
power.
dielectric gloves:
They are the type of glove designed for work with electrical current.
They are usually made of latex or rubber.
They come in different colors, as they are used to detect
deterioration in some surfaces.
They must include the electrical symbol on them, since this
guarantees that they comply with the required manufacturing
standards and technical requirements.

Electrical voltage detectors:

When carrying out work and maneuvering high voltage installations,

it is essential to check the absence of voltage. Electrical voltage
detectors are essential devices that, with acoustic and light signals,
indicate the existence or not of voltage.

security boots:
It is necessary that safety boots without any type of metal element
be used in electrically hazardous work activities.

Antistatic fireproof clothing:

This type of clothing must comply with the regulations and
certifications established based on the level of tension with which
you will be working.
Dielectric safety helmets:

These helmets must include certain screens that serve as protection

against the electric arc when certain electrical activity is going to
take place.

Recommendations:
The use of PPE for electrical risk personnel is necessary and
mandatory. Its function is to protect workers when they carry out
certain activities that endanger their lives. They include a series of
essential elements that help avoid accidents caused by exposure to
electrical current.
