Selecting PPE for Electrical Work: Beyond the Sticker
An arc-rated jacket is useless without rated gloves, hood, and footwear. Build the full kit.
Match PPE category (CAT 1–4) to incident energy from your arc-flash study. Rubber insulating gloves must be tested every 6 months per ASTM D120.
Don't forget hearing protection — arc blasts can exceed 140 dB. Face shields must carry an arc rating, not just impact rating.
Aman Tech supplies pre-assembled PPE kits keyed to each panel's incident energy.
