    for "free" we used to make the same gizmo out of a short peice of PVC pipe... using a hacksaw and file to clean up the slot we cut to accept the glove cuff.

    Dam Climbsomemore we got to go together and start selling all we have between our work trucks and make some money.
    Boomer it is just a nother slick way of checking gloves and useing up some junk 3/4 or 1/2 inch pipe.
    I can not beleve some one does sell it. Guess a guy can make a dime alot of ways.

    Safetyguy,

    You're going to have to do better than that to impress us....

    Back to the drawing board.

  8. Default Glove Roller

    I got a piece of pvc and had one of these on my truck ten years ago. I don't see anything new about that.

    Default If you need a tool to inflate check suggest this.....

    GLOVE INFLATOR KIT
    Portable Unit Makes Glove Inspection Easy
    Before using electrical insulating gloves, you must inspect them! This the fast and easy method to stay in compliance. Specifications: Simply secure glove to portable glove inflator using the nylon strap and fasten with hook and pile, or a rubber O-ring. To inflate, pump bellow of inflator.

    DAILY VISUAL INSPECTION
    In order to maintain the highest level of insulating protection and ensure long life, it is essential that gloves (and sleeves) are properly cared for and stored.

    Before each use, gloves and sleeves should be inspected for holes, rips or tears, ozone cutting (the cutting action produced by ozone on rubber under mechanical stress cracks), UV checking, and signs of chemical deterioration.
    Gloves and Sleeves should also be examined to determine if they show any damage as a result of chemical contamination, particularly from petroleum products. The first sign of exposure is swelling in the area of contamination. Should any rubber equipment be exposed to chemical contaminants or be suspect of any other physical damage, it should be turned in for inspection, cleaning and electrical testing.

    Since sleeves cannot be inflated, they are inspected along the edge as they are rolled. Rolling will stretch the sleeve along the edge, making cuts, tears and ozone cutting more visible. After the outside of the sleeve is inspected, the procedure should also be repeated with the sleeve turned inside out.

    AIR INFLATION TEST
    Once the gloves have been issued, OSHA requires that “protective equipment shall be maintained in a safe, reliable condition”. This requires that gloves be inspected for any damage before each day’s use. Gloves must also be inspected immediately following any incident that may have caused damage. OSHA requires that insulating gloves be given an air test along with the inspection.

    OSHA requires air testing, but doesn’t explain how to perform the test. The test method is described in ASTM F 496, Specification for In-Service Care of Insulating Gloves and Sleeves. Basically, the glove is filled with air, either manually or by an inflator, and then checked for leakage. The leakage is detected by either listening for escaping air or holding the glove against the tester’s cheek to feel air releasing. An example of a glove inflator test kit is attached.

    As stated in ASTM specifications for In-Service Care and Use of Rubber Gloves and Sleeves, gloves and sleeves should be expanded no more than 1.5 times their normal size for type I, and 1.25 times normal for type II during the air test. The procedure should then be repeated with the glove turned inside out.

    ELECTRICAL TEST
    In addition to this daily testing, OSHA requires “Electrical protective equipment shall be subjected to periodic electrical tests.” OSHA does not elaborate on a time frame for these tests, but ASTM F 496 does provide direction. It states that gloves being used in the field must be electrically retested every six months.

    Gloves that have not been placed into service after an electrical test shall not be placed into service unless they have been electrically tested within the previous 12 months.


    ELECTRICAL-PROTECTIVE GLOVE CLASSIFICATION
    Employees who work in close proximity to live electrical current may require a variety of electrically insulating protective equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) outlines this in their Electrical Protective Equipment Standard (29 CFR 1910.137) which provides the design requirements and in-service care and use requirements for electrical-insulating gloves and sleeves as well as insulating blankets, matting, covers and line hoses. Electrical-protective gloves are categorized by the level of voltage protection they provide and whether or not they’re resistant to ozone. Voltage protection is broken down into the following classes:

    Class - 00 - BEIGE - Maximum use voltage of 500 volts AC/proof tested to 5,000 volts AC. FOR WHOI USE

    Class 0 - RED - Maximum use voltage of 1,000 volts AC/proof tested to 5,000 volts AC. NOT EXPECTED FOR WHOI USE

    Class 1—Maximum use voltage of 7,500 volts AC/proof tested to 10,000 volts AC.

    Class 2—Maximum use voltage of 17,000 volts AC/proof tested to 20,000 volts AC.

    Class 3—Maximum use voltage of 26,500 volts AC/proof tested to 30,000 volts AC.

    Class 4—Maximum use voltage of 36,000 volts AC/proof tested to 40,000 volts AC.

    For gloves, ozone resistance is covered by the “Type” designation. A Type I glove is not ozone-resistant, while a Type II is ozone-resistant.

    Default Safety guy,

    what you need to do is pass those things out as advertising at products shows etc. Average line hand ain't gonna be impressed by something like that. Make a nice little "get acquainted" gift though, to pass around to the hands. Kinda like those things you put on your safety glasses to loop them around your neck. Just a thought.
