Working near power
lines
Before starting work! Clearly mark power lines in the vicinity of
construction site while under supervision.
Always assume that overhead lines are live.
Guide the machine so that neither parts of the machine nor attached
loads extend into the danger area.
Maintain a safe distance from overhead lines. If national regulations
do not recommend other values, adhere to the following minimum
distances:
Employ a signaling individual to monitor the safety clearance.
The insulating elements fitted to the machine, protective cages, or
proximity warning devices are no substitute for the listed minimum
distances.
In windy conditions, the overhead power lines and the working
equipment can swing outwards and consequently reduce the
distance.
High voltage contact In the case of high voltage contact, the following rules apply:
Do not leave the driver's cab.
Warn those outside from approaching or touching the machine.
If possible, move all working gear or the entire machine out of the
danger area.
Arrange for power to be switched off.
Only leave the machine once the touched or damaged
line has been disconnected from the power supply.
DANGER
If it is necessary to vacate the machine in case of emergency, e.g.
danger of fire, do not touch the machine and the ground
simultaneously. Jump off the machine with your feet together.
