Course Description
Module 1, Rubber Gloving III: Emergency Procedures is part of Level 4 of the Apprenticeship Program designed to provide participants with the foundational knowledge and skills of utility work. In this course, participants first become familiar with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for personal protective equipment and live-line tools. This knowledge is then used to establish emergency jobsite security using a job briefing and job safety analysis (JSA). Participants then use these procedures to accomplish emergency hot line repairs. This course is designed to provide participants with hands-on application of the knowledge and skills gained in the learning process.
Upon successful completion of the module, participants will be able to demonstrate emergency live-line repairs on an overhead distribution system using personal protective equipment and hot line tools and equipment.

Course Completion Requirements
Climbing Equipment and Tools
Climbing equipment for lineworkers is referred to as personal climbing equipment because it is sized for the individual and provides for his or her safety. Because of these personal safety
factors, climbing equipment should only be used by that person. This ensures that the lineworker always knows the condition of their equipment. Participants must bring their own climbing equipment, including climbers, body belt, personal fall arrest system with a secondary safety device, and climbing boots to use during the program.
Participants will also be required to bring their own personal protective equipment including hardhat, safety glasses, rubber gloves with protectors, work/climbing gloves, and long-sleeve
shirts. It is the individual’s responsibility to ensure that their equipment is maintained in a safe manner by inspecting each piece prior to each use, as well as performing periodic inspections and routine maintenance during the duration of the program.
Instructors reserve the right to inspect and determine if the personal climbing equipment is adequate for use. Personal climbing equipment and hand tools should be marked with the
participant’s name. TEEX is not responsible for any loss or theft of personal climbing equipment, hand tools, or classroom supplies.
Classroom Supplies
Participants will be expected to come to class prepared each day supplied with the following items: notepad, pens, pencils, highlighters, and a scientific calculator. A backpack or other bag is recommended to secure and carry supplies.
In order to receive a Certificate of Completion, the participant must:
- Attend 100% of the course
- Sign the attendance roster each day of class
- Complete and pass the final exam and field activities
- Complete the end-of-course evaluation
Attendance Requirements
Class attendance is an essential part of the education process, and participants in TEEX courses are expected to attend all class sessions and field exercises. The course requires participants to attend a minimum of 100% of the class hours as a component of successful course completion. During the course, your instructor will review any additional attendance requirement, for example a field exercise that cannot be missed.
