The minimum safe approach distance (MSAD) is the closest a worker or piece of equipment can get to an energized conductor without risking a flashover. This distance varies significantly based on the line's voltage. It is crucial to always assume a line is energized unless confirmed otherwise by a qualified person.

Our tools and equipment are designed to help professionals maintain these critical safety distances:

• Insulated Tools: We provide a wide range of insulated tools, such as hot sticks and insulated hand tools, that allow for work to be performed from a safe distance.

• Non-Conductive Materials: Our ladders and lifting equipment are often made from non-conductive materials like fiberglass, which reduces the risk of creating a path for current.

• Rigging and Stringing Equipment: Our OHTL wire cable conductor tension stringing equipment is engineered to provide precise control over the conductor during installation, preventing it from swinging or sagging into unsafe areas.
