What Is an Insulating Blanket?
Insulating blankets are protective gear used by electricians and maintenance workers in high-voltage or high-temperature environments. These blankets serve as a safeguard against the risks of electric shock and electrocution when working near electrical equipment or high-pressure devices. Typically crafted from rubber or other insulating materials, insulating blankets are designed to be non-conductive, preventing electricity from passing through. This ensures safety for workers, even in the event of accidental contact with high-voltage equipment or electrical devices.
Insulating blankets are usually square or rectangular, allowing them to effectively cover electrical equipment or devices. They often have small holes at the corners for suspension or securing purposes. Versatile and easy to remove, insulating blankets can be utilized with various types of equipment or devices as required for different tasks.
