What equipment do linemen use in the rain?

2025-08-08

Linemen must use specialized equipment to ensure their safety and the successful completion of their work in wet conditions. Key equipment includes:

  • Insulated Tools: Tools with insulated handles and non-conductive properties are essential to prevent electrical shocks. Our product line includes a wide variety of these tools, designed for superior performance and safety.

  • Hot Sticks: These are critical for performing work on energized lines from a safe distance. Proper maintenance and care of hot sticks, especially in wet conditions, is crucial to maintain their dielectric strength.

  • Grounding Equipment: Grounding cables and clamps are used to safely redirect any electrical surges away from the lineman.

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): This includes flame-resistant (FR) and waterproof clothing, insulated gloves and sleeves, and high-visibility rain gear to ensure the lineman is both dry and easily seen by others on the job site.
