Safety 2
Working near electric supply lines
• Before performing any work, the operator must check whether there
are any electric supply lines in the job site.
• If there are electric supply lines, only a machine with cabin may be
used (Faraday cage).
• Keep a safe distance from existing electric supply lines.
• If this is not possible, the operator must take other safety measures (for
example switching off the current) in agreement with the operating
company or owner of the supply lines.
• If supply lines are exposed, they must be fastened, supported and
secured accordingly.
• If live supply lines are touched nevertheless:
- Do not leave/touch the cabin (Faraday cage)
- If possible, drive the machine out of the danger zone
- Warn others against approaching and touching the machine
- Have the live wire de-energized
- Do not leave the machine until the supply lines that have been
touched or damaged have been safely de-energized
Working near non-electric supply lines
• Before performing any work, the operator must check whether there
are any non-electric supply lines in the job site.
• If there are non-electric supply lines, the operator must take safety
measures (for example switching off the supply line) in agreement with
the operating company or owner of the supply lines.
• If supply lines are exposed, they must be fastened, supported and
secured accordingly.
