Live Line Safety

Overhead power lines are not insulated like household power cords. What may look like insulation is actually weatherproofing material. Never touch an overhead line.

Coming in contact with power lines can easily lead to electrocution. If your ladder or piece of equipment touches an overhead line, both you and the equipment can become path for the electricity.

Keep long tools, ladders, scaffolding, and other equipment away from overhead lines. Minimum safe distances increase as line voltage increases. Weather conditions and other factors also can affect safe distances.
