Can electricity pass through leather?

No, leather does not conduct electricity but If the leather is fresh and containing some moisture then there can be some possibility of electrical conductivity. A little controversial, but leather is generally considered to be an insulator due to the absence of free electrons.

Why do birds not get electrocuted?

The copper in electrical wires is a great conductor. Birds are not good conductors. That’s one reason they don’t get shocked when they sit on electrical wires. The energy bypasses the birds and keeps flowing along the wire instead.

How often do Class 0 gloves need to be tested?
