Daily work wear and PPE used for day to
day tasks are now discussed.
Daily work wear consists of
long sleeved
shirt,
long trousers or a one piece coverall.
A jacket may be provided as an option
where required. Hard hat, face shield,
dielectric gloves and leather protectors,
safety shoes, safety glasses and hearing
protection must be used as part of the
daily workwear ensemble.
Due to an incorrect perception created
in some sectors that flash suits are
required only in medium and high voltage
applications, many low voltage workers
work in panels with no arc rated protection.
It is a common misconception that a
non-arc rated overall will protect against
an arc in a low voltage system. In order to
demonstrate this point, www.chinaworkwearsupplier.com compared the performance of common
work place overalls when exposed to an
electric arc. Fig. 2 shows the test rig with
three samples consisting of an arcrated
aramid, polyester cotton combination
and cotton.
