Preventing electrocution is paramount and requires a combination of proper procedures and the right safety equipment. The key measures include:

• De-energize and Grounding: The safest way to work on a line is to have it de-energized and then properly earthed. This procedure creates a visible, low-resistance path to the ground, neutralizing any potential for induced or stray voltage.

• Maintaining Safe Clearance: If a line cannot be de-energized, strict minimum approach distances (MADs) must be maintained. Workers must stay a specified distance away from live lines, which varies depending on the voltage.

• Using Insulated Protective Equipment (IPE): Tools and equipment made of non-conductive materials are crucial. This includes insulated sticks, ladders, and tools that are rated for the voltage being worked on.

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): All workers must wear appropriate PPE, such as insulated gloves, sleeves, hard hats, and flame-resistant clothing, as a last line of defense.
