Do I need to wear leather protectors over insulating rubber gloves for applications requiring dexterity?
ASTM and OSHA allow the use of rubber gloves without leather protectors under certain conditions, but this is not recommended. This also changes the testing schedule for the insulating rubber gloves. See OSHA 1910.137(b)(vii)(A)(B) and ASTM F496, 8.7.4 for more information. However, NFPA 70E does not allow the use of rubber insulating gloves without leather protectors. NFPA 70E 130.7 (C)(6)(a) or NFPA 70E 130.7 (C)(13)(c)(2)
