Carters HFSSPFINS BS8020 Shocksafe Heavy Duty Contractors Fork
The Shocksafe Insulated Contractors Fork by Carters conforms to BS8020:2012 which is an exacting specification that demands full adherence to detailed manufacturing and testing procedures for safe working practices to be maintained by the user when working on or in close proximity to live conductor cables.
Insulated contractors tools are double protected by twin coloured layers of special polymer sheaths bonded over the solid fibreglass core. The orange insulation used for the outer sheathing has been developed for its high voltage protection. A white inner protective sleeve is incorporated beneath the main orange polymer sheath if the outer protection abrades in use and the white sleeve becomes visible, the tool should be removed from use around live working systems. A specially contoured collar prevents the user's hand slipping onto the steel blade. Every single tool is flash tested to 10,000 volts for a period of 60 seconds, uniquely numbered and printed with the BS8020-1000 Volt double triangle logo, thus ensuring total traceability and guaranteeing conformity to full live cable working specifications.
