Glove testing is the inspection and testing of personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure that it meets or exceeds the safety standards set by the safety certification bodies. Regular glove testing is critical because it ensures that workers are protected when performing repairs and inspections on live electrocuted equipment, wires, and cables. The repeated use of equipment causes aging and damage that is not always visible, which poses safety risks to workers.
Kinectrics testing process covers all forms of examination. We place gloves in water with variable voltages to ensure we exceed the standard requirements for electrical safety. Afterwards, we inflate and visually inspect gloves, both regular and inside out, to ensure there is no damage to the surface. Once we are certain that tested gloves meet all regulatory requirements, we stamp them with a three-month certification that gives workers using the PPE reassured safety to conduct their work.
