JOB SITE SAFETY AND HAZARD WARNINGS
Figure 1-14
To Help Avoid Injury
If job site classification is in question or if the possibility of
unmarked electric utilities exists, classify the job site as
electric.
Arrange for Traffic Control
• If working near a road or other traffic area, contact
local authorities about safety procedures and
regulations.
• Always activate beacons and flashers before job
setup.
• Always use safety cones.
• If working on a roadway, follow required temporary
traffic control measures.
• Use job site controls, such as cones and barricade
tape, to prevent bystanders from entering potentially
hazardous areas and to keep them away from
machinery.
Prepare for Working Near Existing
Utilities
• Boots must have high tops and meet the electric
hazard protection requirements of ASTM F2413 OR
ASTMF117, when tested at 14,000 volts. Tuck legs
of pants completely inside boots.
• Gloves must have 17,000 AC maximum use voltage,
according to ASTM specification D120. If working
around higher voltage, use gloves and boots with
appropriately higher ratings.
Plan for Emergency Services
• Make sure you have the telephone numbers for local
emergency and medical facilities on hand, and
access to a telephone.
Job site hazards could cause death or serious
injury. Use correct equipment and work methods.
Use and maintain proper safety equipment.
