Prosol: understand the range before choosing
Prosol's electric- and hybrid-vehicle safety range covers workshop segregation, warning systems and specialist protective equipment. The current page includes electrical glove sets and a tester, insulating mat, rescue hook, arc visor or helmet, leather overglove, posters, signs, stickers, chains, posts and bollard kits. These products support a competent safe system; none makes uncontrolled live work acceptable by itself.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 28 Prosol items. The largest Prosol groups are 18 EV workshop segregation and warning entries, 10 electrical PPE and specialist safety entries. Prosol totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Prosol listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the Prosol page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| EV workshop segregation and warning products | 18 | For barriers, signs and workshop controls, confirm hazard zone, access route, visibility, stability, wording, storage and the competent person's release process. |
| Electrical PPE and specialist safety products | 10 | For gloves, visors, helmet and related PPE, verify electrical/arc rating, standard, class, size, test status, inspection, compatibility and task limits. |
The current selection contains twenty-eight Prosol safety products. Eighteen are workshop segregation or warning items and ten are protective or specialist safety products. Seven titles concern insulating gloves or their tester, while signs, barrier chains and high-voltage warnings make up much of the rest. The mix shows that electrical safety requires both control of the work area and correctly selected personal equipment.
Build a reliable shortlist
Begin with the risk assessment and method statement. Separate work on a vehicle that has been made electrically safe from justified live diagnostic work, damaged-vehicle response and emergency rescue. The equipment set, competence and supervision differ. Use vehicle-specific data to locate energy sources, isolation points, capacitors and cables before positioning barriers or choosing PPE.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| System and task | Voltage, stored energy, condition and live/dead status control the hazard | Vehicle-maker procedure and competent electrical assessment |
| Insulating class | A glove or mat is limited by its marked class and use conditions | Current product marking, certificate and maximum-use criteria |
| Arc protection | Shock insulation and arc thermal protection are different performance questions | Incident-energy or task assessment and matched visor/clothing system |
| Fit and ensemble | Poor glove size or incompatible visor/helmet leaves gaps and reduces control | Wearer fitting, overlap and component compatibility |
| Inspection and test | Damage, ageing, contamination or an expired test can invalidate protection | Pre-use examination plus scheduled electrical test record |
| Segregation | A sign without a physical or managed boundary may not prevent entry | Barrier layout, controlled access, lighting and responsible person |
Do not choose a higher marked voltage as a substitute for understanding the task. Ratings only apply within the relevant standard, condition and test regime. If a glove, mat, visor or rescue tool lacks legible identification or reliable test history, quarantine it until competent inspection determines its status.
Isolate, secure and prove dead
Electric and hybrid vehicles can retain dangerous energy after they are switched off. HSE directs workshops to use vehicle-specific information, control remote keys, disconnect and secure the high-voltage source, observe prescribed discharge time and prove relevant conductors dead before work. A warning sign or pair of gloves does not replace any of those steps.
Use test equipment and insulated tools suitable for the circuit and maintained under the workshop's electrical safety system. Prove the tester before and after the dead test where the procedure requires it. Prevent reconnection with lock-off and clear ownership of keys or service disconnects. Document who is in control and the conditions for returning the vehicle to an energised state.
Electrical gloves, overgloves and test status
Prosol glove and cased kit listings appear in medium, large and extra large. Electrical insulating gloves require a comfortable fit and unbroken cuff coverage; a tight glove can fatigue hands, while loose fingers reduce control of test probes or insulated tools. Leather overgloves can protect the insulating material from mechanical damage where the glove system specifies them, but they do not provide electrical insulation on their own.
Before use, inspect for cuts, ozone cracking, embedded debris, swelling, contamination and date or test markings. A pneumatic glove tester can help reveal air leaks, yet it is only one inspection step. Follow the product standard and employer scheme for periodic dielectric testing, rejection and storage. Keep insulating gloves unfolded in their case, away from heat, sunlight, oils and sharp tools.
Mats, visors, helmets and arc hazards
The insulating rubber mat listing refers to an electrical standard, but the exact class, dimensions, condition and surface environment must be checked before placing it. A mat cannot compensate for wet floors, conductive contamination, damaged cables or poor isolation. Lay it flat where it will not trip, wrinkle or move, and inspect both faces before and after the work.
An arc visor or helmet addresses defined thermal and optical hazards, which are not captured by glove voltage class. Match the visor, helmet, balaclava, clothing and gloves to the assessed incident risk and make sure the assembly is approved together. Scratches, contamination, ageing or an incorrect visor position can reduce vision and protection; clean and replace parts only through the manufacturer's process.
Signs, chains, posts and access control
Barrier chains, posts, bollards and warning signs create a visible exclusion zone around the vehicle. Position them far enough from exposed hazards and working movement, while preserving a planned exit and rescue route. Red/white or yellow/black colour improves visibility but does not itself specify the electrical boundary. A responsible person should control entry rather than relying on passers-by to interpret a poster.
Use floor, roof and hanging signs where they can be seen from every normal approach without becoming trip or falling-object hazards. Wording should match the status: waiting for diagnosis, isolated and under work, or energised for a controlled test. Remove or cover warnings promptly when the competent person releases the area so staff do not learn to ignore permanent high-voltage signs.
Rescue planning and damaged vehicles
A rescue hook and pole belongs within a rehearsed emergency plan. Rescuers must know how to summon help, isolate energy if safe, avoid becoming another casualty and use the tool within its verified limits. Wall storage should keep it accessible, identifiable and protected from damage. Do not use the hook for routine pulling, moving batteries or reaching service disconnects.
Damaged EV batteries can present fire, toxic, chemical and re-ignition hazards beyond electric shock. Segregate the area using the emergency procedure and involve appropriate specialists. Do not assume ordinary workshop PPE covers battery electrolyte, smoke or thermal runaway. After any incident or suspected contact, quarantine affected gloves, mat, visor and rescue equipment for competent inspection rather than returning them to storage.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Plan | Identify vehicle, system voltage, task, competence, isolation and rescue method | Starting work because EV PPE is present |
| Control the area | Set a managed boundary, signs, key control and authorised access | Using one loose warning sign as the whole exclusion system |
| Make safe | Isolate, lock off, wait and prove dead to vehicle procedure | Trusting an ignition-off display or disconnected 12-volt battery |
| Inspect equipment | Verify ratings, fit, markings, tests and condition of the complete PPE set | Relying on a pneumatic check as electrical recertification |
| Work and release | Maintain control, restore safely, inspect tools/PPE and remove barriers formally | Energising while people or equipment remain in the zone |
Keep the Prosol part, rating, serial or batch identity, inspection and test record within the electrical safety equipment register. Link the barrier layout and rescue plan to the workshop procedure so staff know the products are controls within a system, not standalone permission to approach high voltage.
Reading real Prosol references
The Prosol names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Prosol recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Prosol, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| Electrical Safety Glove - LARGE | Vehicle voltage, task, isolation status and competent work category |
| Electrical Safety Glove - MEDIUM | PPE standard/class, size, test date and ensemble compatibility |
| Electrical Safety Glove - XL | Barrier dimensions, stability, sign visibility and access route |
| Electrical Safety Glove Kit - LARGE | Rescue-tool rating, storage, inspection and trained emergency method |
| Electrical Safety Glove Kit - MEDIUM | Vehicle voltage, task, isolation status and competent work category |
| Electrical Safety Glove Kit - XL | PPE standard/class, size, test date and ensemble compatibility |
| Pneumatic Safety Glove Tester | Barrier dimensions, stability, sign visibility and access route |
| Rescue Safety Hook And Pole | Rescue-tool rating, storage, inspection and trained emergency method |
Names such as ‘Electrical Safety Glove’, ‘High Voltage Warning Bollard’ and ‘Electric Arc Protective Visor’ describe roles but not the complete limits. Read the current Prosol data and equipment markings alongside HSE and vehicle instructions before adding any item to a safe system.
Common errors around Prosol products
- Treating Prosol gloves or a rubber mat as permission to work live on an EV.
- Assuming ignition off and a removed 12-volt lead prove the high-voltage system dead.
- Selecting PPE by a voltage phrase without checking standard, class, condition and test date.
- Using a leather overglove as electrical insulation without its insulating inner glove.
- Relying on pneumatic inflation as a substitute for scheduled dielectric testing.
- Setting one warning sign without controlling access around the complete hazard area.
- Using a rescue hook for normal workshop handling or without trained emergency procedures.
- Returning equipment exposed to an incident directly to service without inspection.
Prosol questions and answers
Q: What Prosol products are represented here?
A: The range includes insulating gloves and kits, a tester, mat, rescue hook, arc visor/helmet, overglove, signs, chains, posts and bollards.
Q: Does EV PPE make live work safe?
A: No. Live work needs specific justification, competence and controls; isolation and proving dead are the normal starting point.
Q: Is switching the vehicle off enough?
A: No. Stored energy can remain, so follow the vehicle isolation, waiting, lock-off and test procedure.
Q: How is glove size chosen?
A: Use the manufacturer's sizing and a wearer trial with any liners or overgloves in the approved ensemble.
Q: What should be checked on insulating gloves?
A: Check identity, class, date/test status, cuff and surface condition, contamination and fit before use.
Q: Does a pneumatic tester certify a glove electrically?
A: No. It can help find physical leaks; periodic electrical testing and records remain separate requirements.
Q: Why use a leather overglove?
A: Where specified, it protects the insulating glove from mechanical damage; it is not an electrical barrier by itself.
Q: Does an insulating mat remove the need to isolate?
A: No. It is an additional control selected for a defined task and environment.
Q: Are arc visor ratings the same as voltage class?
A: No. Arc thermal performance and electrical insulation are different and must both be assessed.
Q: How large should the barrier zone be?
A: Set it from the risk assessment, working movement and approach boundaries, not chain length alone.
Q: Who should use the rescue hook?
A: Only people trained under the workshop's emergency plan and within the hook's verified instructions.
Q: What records should be kept?
A: Maintain equipment identity, rating, inspection/test status, issue, storage and any incident exposure.
