What are the primary safety considerations during OHTL construction?
2025-08-10Safety is the paramount concern in OHTL construction, given the high voltages and work-at-height requirements. Critical safety considerations include:
-
Minimum Clearance Distances: Maintaining a safe distance from energized lines is non-negotiable. Our equipment is designed to help workers maintain these critical clearances.
-
Grounding and Bonding: Proper grounding of all equipment and structures is vital to prevent electrical shock.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensuring all personnel wear appropriate PPE, including insulating gloves, hard hats, and fall protection harnesses.
-
Job-Specific Training: All crew members must be thoroughly trained on the specific hazards of the job and the proper use of all equipment, including our specialized stringing machines and tools.
