C1-4 Aerial conductor contact
If the platform or load contacts aerial conductors, the relevant electricity distributor shall be immediately notified of the situation
and, until assistance is received, a competent person shall remain in a prominent position to warn of the danger of electrocution.
In such an event the platform operator should act as follows:
(a) Remain the platform.
(b) Warn all other personnel to keep away from the platform and not to touch any part of the platform.
(c) Without anyone approaching the platform, operate the platform in such a manner to break contact, where possible.
(d) When unable to move or disentangle the platform from the aerial conductors, remain on the platform and take no
further action until it is confirmed that conditions are safe.
Where the platform operator is immobilized, the power shall be isolated before assistance is given.
When a platform has been in contact with a live aerial conductor, it shall be checked by a competent person for any damage.
Any actions recommended by the competent person shall be completed before it is returned to service.
