Keeping a Safe Distance from Overhead High-Voltage Cables
No Movement of Bucket over Personnel
Moving the bucket over personnel has a
danger of splashing the loaded material or
the sudden falling of bucket.
Guarantee of Driver’s Safety during Loading
Do not load before the driver reaches a safe
place.
Do not swing or position bucket above
personnel or cab. Load from the back door of
trucks.
Never close any part or loaded material of
machine to high-voltage cables, unless all
safety measures specified by local and
national authorities are already taken. There
is a danger of electric shock and death when
any person approaches to the machine that is
discharging electric spark or is near or in
contact with power supply.
Always keep a safe spacing between machine
and high-voltage cables.
Before starting operations, please verify the
relevant operation safety procedures with
local power grid.
Consider all electric cables as high-voltage
cables. Even if it’s known or believed that the
power supply is cut off or the cable is clearly
grounded, consider such cables also as live cables.
If the machine is too close to high voltage cables, set up a signaler to sound warnings. Keep all
personnel within operation zone away from machine and loaded material.
