Overhead high voltage power lines represent a potential hazard to both operators and ground personnel working near equipment with booms, mast, or any other type of extensions that have the capability of reaching these high voltage power lines. While contact with overhead high-voltage lines represent only 5% of the total electrical accidents, it is responsible for approximately 45% of the reported fatalities. Virtually all fatal electrocutions are a direct result of equipment being unintentionally brought into contact with a high voltage power line. We believe that most of these accidents could have been avoided by additional operator training and the installation and proper use of one of our Proximity Alarms. Our line of Proximity Alarms will serve as an "electronic eye" and back up operators who may become distracted or unable to see the dangerous overhead high voltage power lines. Proximity alarms are not intended to replace any existing safeguards required by the equipment manufacturer, OSHA, or the utilities for the lines you are working around, but as a tool to increase operator awareness. Please read through our site to learn more about our complete line of products, including proximity alarms, insulated links, and line contact alarm which could potentially prevent at least 20% of the reported fatalities by informing workers that the machine chassis has become energized.
