What are the most critical safety practices for electrical cable stringing?
2025-08-08At Ningbo Changshi, we prioritize safety above all else. The most critical practices include:
-
Comprehensive Planning & Risk Assessment: Before any operation, a detailed job plan and documented "tailboard talk" are essential. This identifies all potential hazards, outlines work methods, and ensures everyone on the crew is trained and competent.
-
Maintaining Safe Distances: Strict adherence to minimum safe distances from energized lines, as specified by regulatory bodies like OSHA, is non-negotiable.
-
Proper Equipment and PPE: Using well-maintained, appropriate equipment is vital. This includes insulated gloves, hard hats, high-visibility clothing, and arc-flash suits where needed. Our tools are designed with safety features to minimize risk.
-
Grounding and Bonding: Grounding and bonding conductors and equipment protect personnel from inadvertent electrical contact and induced voltages.
-
Effective Communication: Clear and constant communication, using two-way radios and hand signals, is crucial for coordinating between pulling and tensioning sites.
