2. Position 4 orange cones around the corners of the vehicle to mark off a 1 m (3 ft) perimeter

Rubber Insulating Gloves Testing
WARNING: The high-voltage insulated safety rubber insulating gloves that are to be
worn when modifying the vehicle in close proximity to the high-voltage system, should be
of the appropriate safety and protection rating for use on the high-voltage system. They
must be inspected before use and must always be worn in conjunction with the leather
outer gloves. Any hole in the rubber insulating glove is a potential entry point for high
voltage. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury or death.
Note: The high-voltage insulated safety gloves must be re-certified every 6 months to remain
within OSHA guidelines.
1. Roll the glove up from the open end until the lower portion of the glove begins to balloon from
the resulting air pressure. If the glove leaks any air, it must not be used.
2. The gloves should not be used if they show any signs of wear and tear.
3. The leather gloves must always be worn over the rubber insulating gloves in order to protect
them.
4. The rubber insulating gloves must be class ‘‘00’’ and meet all of the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards.
