Voice of Experience: Danny Raines, CUSP - Lineworkers & Rubber Sleeves
Monday Jun 19, 2023
Monday Jun 19, 2023
Listen to Danny Raines, CUSP discuss his newest article in iP Magazine about Lineworkers
& Rubber Sleeves.
Rubber sleeves are an important safety tool for lineworkers who work with energized electrical equipment. They provide additional insulation and protection from electrical shock, and can help to prevent serious injuries or death.
In the past, some lineworkers did not wear rubber sleeves, but this practice has become increasingly rare in recent years. The OSHA Strategic Partnership Program, which was developed in 2005-2006, encourages the use of rubber sleeves by lineworkers. The program has been successful in reducing the number of electrical incidents and fatalities, and most lineworkers now wear rubber sleeves when working with energized equipment.
OSHA regulations require that lineworkers wear rubber insulating gloves and sleeves when working with energized parts. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, an employee may not need to wear rubber sleeves if the exposed energized parts on which the employee is not working are insulated from the employee.
It is important for lineworkers to be aware of the risks associated with working with energized electrical equipment. Rubber sleeves are an important safety tool that can help to prevent serious injuries or death.
Here are some additional benefits of wearing rubber sleeves:
- They can help to protect the lineworker's arms from burns and other injuries caused by arc flash.
- They can help to prevent the lineworker from being electrocuted if they come into contact with an energized conductor.
- They can help to reduce the risk of developing electrical shock-related health problems, such as heart arrhythmias and nerve damage.
If you are a lineworker or work in a related field, it is important to wear rubber sleeves when working with energized electrical equipment. Rubber sleeves can help to protect you from serious injuries or death.
