WHAT IS INSULATED AND WHAT IS NOT INSULATED
The insulating boom section only prevents
current from passing from the band of arrows at the
boom tip to the lower band of arrows. All components
above and below that area must be considered
conductive.
The boom tip is everything past the upper band
of arrows. All boom tip components are structurally and
electrically connected. Contact with any part of the boom
tip will energize the entire boom tip including, controls,
jib, winch, and platform support structure.
Death or serious injury to the operator or
ground personnel can occur if any part of the boom or
boom tip contacts an energized conductor, ground line,
grounded line, or OBJECTS. Proper clearance must be
maintained.
You must always cover the line and wear
rubber gloves with rubber sleeves and an approved hard
hat when any part of the Aerial Device is working on or
near energized lines or conductors even when working
on a grounded line, neutral line, or ground line.
Neutral, static and ground lines are current
carrying conductors and require proper handling. Treat
them as energized.
You must read the operators manual to fully
understand the protection the Aerial Device will give you.
Anytime the platform occupant(s) contact two items at different potential without proper
personnel protective equipment, their body may become a path for electric current, and
they may be electrocuted. This includes touching the controls, any tools, or items on the
boom tip while also contacting a line or ground.
