Name three types of PPE commonly required in electrical maintenance work.

• A. Insulated gloves, face shield, arc-rated flame-resistant clothing and dielectric boots
• B. Hard hat, safety sandals, ordinary cotton clothing
• C. Safety glasses, gloves, non-flame-resistant clothing
• D. Hearing protection, insulated gloves, reflective vest

Answer: (A)

Electrical maintenance work carries shock and arc-flash risks, so PPE must protect hands, face, body, and feet. Insulated dielectric gloves provide protection from electric current; a face shield guards the eyes and face from arc flash and flying debris; arc-rated flame-resistant clothing protects skin from heat and flames during an arc event; dielectric boots help keep the feet insulated from the ground and reduce the chance of current finding a path through the body. This combination covers the main exposure points workers face in electrical tasks, offering layered protection across different hazard types. Other options miss essential protections, such as non-flame-resistant clothing, ordinary footwear, or PPE that doesn’t address eye/face protection or insulation, making them less suitable for electrical maintenance.
