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

When handling and testing post-tensioning cables, it's crucial to consider the following PPE:

• Head Protection: Wear non-conductive head protection wherever there is a danger of head injury from electric shock or burns due to contact with exposed energized parts.
• Eye and Face Protection: Use protective equipment for the eyes or face wherever there is danger of injury to the eyes or face from electric arcs or flashes or from flying objects resulting from electrical explosion.
• Hand Protection: 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. Insulating gloves should be worn during these operations.

Additionally, always ensure that:

• Protective equipment is maintained in a safe, reliable condition.
• Insulating equipment is cleaned as needed to remove foreign substances and stored to protect it from light, temperature extremes, and other damaging conditions.
