SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
Whenever a crane must be operated near an overhead power line where any part of the crane or load will be over or under or within six feet of the power line, the power line should be scheduled out of service if at all possible. Installation of a temporary alternate power line may be warranted in some cases. If a power line outage cannot be scheduled, and the risk can be justified, a crane may be operated near a power line which remains in service, under the following conditions: (NOTE: Driving a crane under energized power lines with clearances as stipulated in para 2.2.7 above or clearing telltales where installed while on regular roadways is excluded.) 6.1 The work permit issuer and receiver must meet at the jobsite and plan the job and the positioning of the crane to minimize the likelihood of contact. The Power Line Crew Supervisor shall instruct the crew to strictly adhere to the following to prevent electrocutions: (NOTE: No work shall be done if visibility is limited due to darkness, dust or hot weather. This includes high humidity and fog.) 6.2.1 DO NOT move booms closer than 10 feet to an energized power line up to 50 kV. Add 1 ft. for every 30 kV eg., 110 kv = 12'. 6.2.2 6.2.3 DO NOT touch any part of the crane or load while the crane is in motion. Dry fiber rope tag lines shall be used to control the load. In case of a power line contact, no person should attempt to get on or off the crane, or touch any part of the crane, the load, or the power lines, until the Electric System Operator has declared the line dead. A rigger or banksman must accompany the crane during all movement including lifts to direct the crane operator. The crane operator is responsible for the safe operation of the crane.
