What is the procedure for checking rubber gloves in the field?

The correct procedure for checking rubber gloves in the field is to use the "Look, Listen, Feel" method. This involves visually inspecting the gloves for any signs of damage such as cuts, tears, or any other irregularities that could compromise their integrity. Additionally, by listening for any air leaks when you squeeze the gloves, you can detect small punctures that might not be easily visible. Finally, feeling for any unusual textures or spots can alert you to areas of potential wear or weakness.

This comprehensive approach ensures a thorough evaluation of the gloves, which is critical for maintaining safety while working around electrical hazards. The other options, while possibly relevant in different contexts, do not provide the same level of assurance regarding the gloves' performance in protecting against electrical shock. Visual inspection alone can miss hidden damage, soaking in water can damage the gloves, and using a voltage tester is not appropriate for a simple pre-use check of rubber gloves.
