3.2.6 Live power lines
The machine is not electrically isolated and does not provide protection from contact or proximity to
electrical lines.
It is mandatory to maintain a minimum distance from the electrical lines in accordance with the
regulations in force and according to the following table.
Keep away from other machinery that is operating near live power lines.
In Canada and USA, a minimum distance must be maintained in accordance with OSHA standard 1910.333
or national laws and regulations when working near live lines.
3.3 In case of accident.
If an accident occurs during use, without injury to the operators, caused by manoeuvring errors (e.g.
collisions) or structural failures, the machine must be placed in a safe condition (isolate it, apply a sign)
and it is mandatory to report the anomaly to the employer.
In the event of an accident with injury to one or more operators, the operator on the ground (or on the
platform not involved) must:
- Call for help immediately.
- Only carry out the manoeuvres to bring the platform to the ground if you are sure they will not
aggravate the situation.
- Put the machine in safe condition and report the abnormality to the employer.
