PPE must be selected from the risk assessment and the type of work. Clothing for work on or near exposed live parts must be fit for purpose, well fitting, in good repair and cover the wearer fully between wrists and ankles (synthetic undergarments are a fire risk). Table 11.1 requirements: eye protection to AS/NZS 1337.1 selected under AS/NZS 1336; face shields rated 10 cal/cm2 and fitted with a chin guard; arc flash suit with hood of 40 cal/cm2 minimum rating; footwear to AS 2210.2; insulating gloves to AS/NZS IEC 60903 rated for the highest expected voltage and air tested before each use, worn with leather outer gloves; arc resistant gloves to AS/NZS 2161.4; hearing protection to AS 1270; flame-retardant full-length clothing with no conductive material or metal threads; arc rated clothing of at least 4 cal/cm2 marked to ENA NENS 09; fall-arrest equipment to AS/NZS 1891.4 inspected before each use; helmets to AS/NZS 1801; respiratory protection to AS/NZS 1715 and 1716. Table 11.2 guides selection by task and supply: for isolated and tested work, PPE based on the electrical risk; for switching, isolating or removing fuses on three-phase 400 V circuits over 63 A, at least 4 cal/cm2 arc rated clothing, arc rated face shield, arc rated or leather-covered rubber gloves and safety glasses; for authorized live work, proving isolation, energized testing, racking breakers or work near energized parts in the same open enclosure, at least 4 cal/cm2 up to 160 A, 8 cal/cm2 up to 250 A, 40 cal/cm2 with arc flash suit and hood up to 800 A and 75 cal/cm2 up to 2000 A. An arc fault study may replace Table 11.2.
