Working near electric supply lines
• Before performing any work, the operator must check
whether there are any electric supply lines in the job
site.
• If there are electric supply lines, only a vehicle with
cabin may be used (Faraday cage).
• Keep a safe distance from existing electric supply
lines.
• If this is not possible, the operator must take other
safety measures (for example, switching off the
current) in agreement with the operating company or
owner of the supply lines.
• 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 cabin (Faraday cage)
- If possible, drive the vehicle out of the danger zone
- Warn others against approaching and touching the
machine
- Have the live wire de-energized
- Do not leave the machine until the supply lines that
have been touched or damaged have been safely
de-energized.
