Insulated Hand Tools for Electrical Workers

Critical Tool offers OEL Insulated Electrical Tools, one of the leading Electrical Safety Equipment manufacturers in the USA. Insulated tools became essential as a result of electrical safety related work practice 1910.3310.33 OSHA standards to safeguard personnel as well as equipment that is susceptible to shorting out and creating spiking surges to electronic apparatuses. Compliance with these standards will reduce the number of electrical accidents resulting from unsafe work practices by employees. OSHA has enacted laws making it mandatory for the electrical industry to develop and implement safety procedures, provide safety equipment, and train employees who are exposed to 50 volts or more to ground. Every insulated hand tool OEL manufactures and we sell is rated for exposure up to 1,000VAC and di-electrically tested at 10,000VAC. These tools meet or exceed ASTM F1505-01 and IEC 900 Standards for Insulated Hand Tools. These tools are necessary for compliance with OSHA 1910.333 (c)(2), and NFPA 70E 2015. The insulating material used is impact resistant and flame retardant. Two-color insulation makes inspection easier which adds to the overall safety. If the yellow under layer is showing, the tool may no longer be insulated properly and should be considered for replacement and removed from service in the field.
