What are the essential safety measures and equipment needed for working on power lines and substations?
2025-08-10Answer: Electrical safety is the top priority in all installation and maintenance work. The essential safety measures and equipment include:
-
Proper Grounding and Bonding: Ensure all equipment and conductors are properly grounded to provide a safe path for electrical current in case of a fault.
-
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Procedures: Implement strict LOTO procedures to de-energize circuits and prevent accidental re-energization during maintenance.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Workers must wear flame-retardant clothing, arc-rated gear, insulated gloves, safety glasses, hard hats, and steel-toed boots to protect against electrical hazards.
-
Specialized Tools and Equipment: Use insulated tools, tension stringing equipment, and other specialized devices designed for live-line work (when applicable) to perform tasks without compromising safety.
-
Emergency Plans and Training: All personnel must be trained on emergency procedures, including first aid for electrical shock and how to use rescue equipment.
