OEL Worldwide Industries Leather Protector Gloves Product Information Sheet
NFPA 70E Requirements
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) published the latest edition of the NFPA
70E Standard (Standard for Electrical Safety Requirements for Employee Workplaces) in 2009. The
revised version requires employees to wear ame resistant (FR) protective clothing that meets the
requirements of ASTM F1506 wherever there is possible exposure to an electric arc ash. It requires
employers to perform a ash hazard analysis to determine the ash protection boundary distance.
The standard is designed to protect employees working inside these ash protection boundaries by
requiring protective clothing for corresponding Hazard/Risk Category that has an arc thermal performance value (ATPV) of at least the value listed in the “Protective Clothing Characteristics” section of the standard (see table above). The vast majority of major companies in the U.S. have some
employees who work on or near energized electrical conductors or circuit parts. In addition, the
Department of Energy has required that federal and contractor employees comply with NFPA 70E
and the 2002 National Electric Code (NEC) references the NFPA 70E standard. Finally, OSHA considers the NFPA 70E standard a “recognized industry practice.”
When incident energy exceeds 40 cal/cm2 at the working distance, greater emphasis than
normal should be placed on de-energizing before working on or near the exposed electrical
conductors or circuit parts.
From Clothing to Insulated Tools to ARC Suppression Blankets we have
everything you need to meet the NFPA 70E Standard and OSHA 29
1910.269 Regulations. The NFPA 70E Standard and OSHA Regulations
have been established to protect workers from electrical shock and
arc ash hazards. For example, the NFPA 70E Standard species areas
in which arc ash protection is required for workers. All personnel
within the dened boundaries must wear specied protective
equipment, even on circuits as low as 50 volts. The NFPA 70E Standard
and OSHA Regulations MUST be met, and OEL has made it easy and
affordable for you to meet and exceed them.

Leather Protector Gloves
OEL’S LEATHER PROTECTOR GLOVES
OEL’s Leather Protector Gloves should always be worn over
Insulating Rubber Gloves to provide the needed mechanical
protection against cuts, abrasions and punctures. Our leather
protector gloves are manufactured from top grain cowhide or
goatskin. Both cuffs are tough leather on palm side and vinyl on
the back. Protectors for Class 00 and 0 are available with nonmetallic buckle and pull strap or elastic wrist.
Available in full sizes from 8-12 and perfectly matched to the
shape of our Rubber Insulating Gloves. The 10” Goatskin glove
is designed for class 00 + 0 while the 12” Cowhide glove is
designed for use with class 1+ 2 gloves.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify the overall
length of the protector gloves.
WARNING: Do not use leather protectors alone for protection
against electric shock. Serious injury or death will result.
Always use proper insulating rubber gloves. Proper care of
leather protectors is essential to user safety. Inspect the leather
protectors when inspecting rubber gloves. Metal particles,
imbedded wire, abrasive materials or any substance that could
physically damage the rubber gloves must be removed from the
protector before use.
