Macron Safety’s Testing Lab VOLTGARD is the off-site lab for numerous Utilities, Telecommunication Companies, Contractors, Municipalities, & Industrial facilities nationwide. OSHA workplace rules make the use of rubber insulating equipment mandatory, even when the smallest potential of contact with low or high voltage exists. These rubber goods must be periodically tested to ensure the products maintain their integrity when exposed to a full range of voltages. We offer full service testing and re-certification of Rubber Gloves, Sleeves, Rubber Blankets, Line Hose, Hot Sticks, & Jumper Cables. Our facility is equipped with state-of–the-art equipment for the complete testing of these products, including washing, visual inspecting, and electrical testing. All rubber protective equipment tested by Macron Safety’s VOLTGARD testing lab undergoes this rigorous sequence to ensure that your employees are always using safe equipment. If a product does fail during testing, a new certified replacement is readily available from our inventory.
