Facilities that have qualified electrical workers MUST have glove testing/replacement program and most do; however, there is always the question as to “when does the clock start on the testing frequency”? Gloves that have been issued AND removed from their packaging the clock starts right away; however, gloves that remain in the manufacturer’s packaging the gloves have sort of a grace period of 12 months before they have to be tested. We find this in the footnote in 1910.137 Table I-5.
