SAFETY & PPE
EARTHING EQUIPMENTSafety and Compliance in the Energy Industry
An electrical rescue kit is essential if your company is involved in overseeing, repairing, and maintaining LV switchboards, electrical substations, or pole-top electrical work. Our range of electrical rescue kits comes complete with a carry bag and rubber-insulated gloves and contains everything you need in an electrical emergency rescue situation.
While accidents on an electrical job site are rare, a low voltage rescue kit is mandatory should a worst-case scenario occur, it can save lives. It’s worth noting that having a rescue kit on hand is a regulatory requirement. Let’s look at some of the components that comprise a compliant rescue kit:
- Container and relevant signage: Low voltage rescue kits must come in a container or bag and contain the appropriate safety signage, for instance, an “Isolate Here in Case of Emergency” sign.
- Insulated components: All low voltage rescue kits must contain rubber-insulated gloves, an insulated mat, and rescue hook. The grading of these insulated items should be relevant to the job specification in terms of voltage.
- Other components: Low voltage rescue kits should contain various other components such as a fire blanket, additional first aid components like burn dressings, and a clear first aid guide booklet.
We are a leading specialist supplier of compliant safety tools and equipment for the energy industry.
