You will normally be issued a pair of electrical safety shoes when you report to your first duty station. You must wear them whenever you work on or around energized equipment. Take care of them. You can clean and shine them just like regular safety shoes. When they become worn out or damaged, turn them in to your supply division for a new pair. Electrical safety shoes do not have any exposed metal parts like you might find on regular safety shoes. They have special non-conducting soles designed to protect you from a maximum of 600 volts.

RUBBER GLOVES

Rubber gloves are designed to keep you from being injured when you must or may accidentally touch an electrically "live" component. There are four classes of rubber insulating gloves. The primary features of the gloves are their wall thickness and their maximum safe voltage rating. Refer back to table 3-3 for glove classes and the maximum safe voltage for which they may be used.

SAFETY SHORTING PROBE

Some of the electronic equipment you may work on will use large capacitors to filter the electrical power. You must discharge these capacitors before working on the equipment by using a safety shorting probe. The procedure for using a shorting probe is provided in table 3-8.
