What are the most important safety precautions during overhead line installation?
2025-08-13Safety 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.
