Then, when this work is to take place near power lines, special care is required. Electrocution was the most common cause of death among aerial lift operators in the United States in 2012.

Then, when this work is to take place in the vicinity of power lines, special care is required. Electrocution was the most common cause of death among aerial lift operators in the United States in 2012. Our aerial lift course covers exactly how to work safely in a power shock hazard area. Some of the most common causes of electrocution include: the operator or platform components approaching dangerously or touching wires lack of awareness of proximity to overhead power lines lack of awareness of voltage running through wires inadequate operation of the lift when near wires Electrocution can be minimised with proper planning to reduce risk and management of working at height. Proper operator training is also essential and the operator should be certified by the UDT. Key safety rules for working near power lines: where possible, overhead power lines should be disconnected before work is carried out if this is not possible, adequate protection should be provided to the platform operator by shielding them using tools designed for this purpose tools can be used to determine the distance from the wires, it is advisable to keep a distance of a maximum of 15 metres with the jib fully extended in the vicinity of power poles and a maximum of 9 metres for wooden power poles when working, it is advisable to mark the maximum distance of extension of the jib on the ground it must be ensured that the area is adequately monitored by additional workers appropriate plans for emergency situations and procedures must be [...]<\/p>",
