Safety 2
Working near electric supply lines
• Before performing any work, the operator must check whether there
are any electrical supply lines in the designated working area.
• If there are electrical supply lines, only a vehicle with cab may be used
(Faraday cage).
• Keep a safe distance from existing electric supply lines.
• If this is not possible, the operator must initiate other safety measures
in agreement with the owner or operator of the supply lines (e.g.
shutdown the power).
• 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 cab (Faraday cage)
- If possible, drive the vehicle out of the danger zone
- Warn others against approaching and touching the vehicle
- Have the live wire de-energized
- Do not leave the vehicle 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-electrical supply lines in the designated working area.
• If non-electrical supply lines exist, the operator must initiate safety
measures in agreement with the owner or operator of the supply lines
(e.g. shutdown the supply line).
• If supply lines are exposed, they must be fastened, supported and
secured accordingly.
