The Safety Innovation & Testing Hub is an important step towards strengthening the protection of our frontline employees through testing, validation and continuous improvement. By ensuring that only safe and reliable PPE reaches the field, we are not only protecting our people but also contributing to a safer and more reliable electricity distribution network for the consumers and communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The facility will test and validate expired and reusable electrical insulating rubber hand gloves before their deployment in the field. It will verify their dielectric integrity and electrical withstand capability, ensuring that only safe and reliable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used by frontline employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
