I wasn't able to find specific documentation in our current safety knowledge base regarding the exact personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for safe handling and testing of post-tensioning cables. However, here is some general safety guidance based on industry standards and best practices:

1. General PPE: At a minimum, workers should wear:

• Hard hats
• Safety glasses or face shields
• Heavy-duty work gloves
• Steel-toed boots

2. Cable Handling: When handling cable suspension strand which is being installed on poles carrying exposed energized power conductors, employees should wear insulating gloves and shall avoid body contact with the strand until after it has been tensioned, dead-ended, and permanently grounded.

3. Overhead Line Work: When a pole is set, moved, or removed near an exposed energized overhead conductor, the employer shall ensure that each employee wears electrical protective equipment or uses insulated devices when handling the pole and that no employee contacts the pole with uninsulated parts of his or her body.

4. Electrical Safety: Employees working in areas where there are potential electrical hazards must be provided with electrical protective equipment that is appropriate for the specific parts of the body to be protected and for the work to be performed, and employers must ensure that they use such protective equipment.

5. Testing and Inspection: Before each day's use, personal protective devices, tools, and equipment should be carefully inspected by a competent person to ascertain that they are in good condition.

6. Additional Protective Measures:

• Fall protection may be needed when working at elevated positions on poles, towers, or similar structures which do not have adequately guarded work areas.
• When working near exposed energized conductors or circuit parts, each employee must use insulated tools or handling equipment if the tools or handling equipment might make contact with such conductors or parts.

It's important to consult industry-specific guidelines, manufacturers' recommendations, and any relevant regulatory standards for detailed PPE requirements related to post-tensioning cable work.
