What are the most important safety precautions during overhead line installation?

2025-08-13

Safety is paramount during overhead line installation, especially during the stringing process where high tension is involved. Key safety precautions include:

  • Maintaining Safe Clearances: The most critical rule is to ensure the conductor never touches the ground or any objects. This is managed by the precise control of our pullers and OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioners.

  • Using Insulated Tools and Grounding: When working near or on existing energized lines, crews must use insulated tools and follow strict grounding procedures to prevent electrical shock. We supply these essential Overhead Tools and Accessories.

  • Proper Communication: Clear and reliable communication between the pulling rig operator, the OHTLstringingequipment.com/Hydraulic-Conductor-Tensioners.html target='_blank'>Tensioner operator, and ground crews is non-negotiable.

  • Adhering to a Stringing Plan: A detailed plan that accounts for terrain, obstacles, and weather conditions is essential for a safe and successful installation.

By providing reliable, high-quality equipment, we help contractors and utility companies implement these safety measures and protect their crews and the public throughout the entire installation project.
