Daylight Saving Time began on Sunday, March 12! You should not only adjust your clocks and test your smoke detectors, but also check your rubber-insulating gloves!

Rubber-insulating gloves must be recertified every 6 months. This is an OSHA requirement for your safety.

Check the last inspection date stamped on all your rubber-insulating gloves. If it’s time to have them electrically tested, follow the steps in the latest revision of TSB SST-028 to get them recertified.

It is critically important that you wear Personal Protective Equipment when working on or around Kia Hybrid and EV high-voltage systems. This includes wearing rubber-insulating gloves and leather glove protectors OVER them to help prevent cuts and tears in the rubber gloves.

If you don’t wear leather protectors, OSHA requires you to have the rubber-insulating gloves electrically tested and recertified before using them again. This is in addition to the 6-month testing requirement.

Always use KGIS to find the most current service information and thank you for supporting Kia Technical Training!
