What are the critical safety considerations when working on or near Overhead Power Transmission Lines?

2025-07-18

Safety is paramount when dealing with OHTL due to the high voltages involved. Key considerations include:

  • Maintaining Safe Clearances: Strict adherence to minimum approach distances from energized lines for all personnel and equipment.

  • Line De-energization and Grounding: The preferred method for safe work, involving taking the line out of service and applying grounds to dissipate any residual or induced voltage.

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use of appropriate insulated gloves, hot sticks, flame-retardant clothing, and other safety gear.

  • Induction Hazards: Awareness and mitigation of induced voltages from adjacent energized lines, especially during stringing operations.

  • Emergency Response Planning: Having clear procedures for accidents, including first aid and communication protocols. Our equipment is designed with safety features and our comprehensive services include guidance on best practices for safe operation.
