Table 8-6. Voltage Level Work Procedures Overhead Line
600 Volts and Below
1. Ground vehicles and aerial lifts in the vicinity of the work site.
2. Cover
with approved protective equipment, or isolate with suitable barriers, energized
phase
and neutral wires, ground wires, messengers, and guy wires in the vicinity of the
work.
Apply covering to the nearest and lowest conductor first and remove in reverse
order.
Refer to Chapter 7.
3. Refer to Table 8-3 for work methods. Rubber gloves with leather protectors will be worn
when entering a glove-required area and removed only after leaving that area.
4. Observe the working distance requirements of Table 3-1.
5. Protective equipment and vehicle grounds will be removed at the end of each workday.
6. Perform work on only one conductor at a time.
7. Tape or otherwise protect splices. Secure loose ends of conductors.
601 to 15,000 Volts
1. Ground vehicles and aerial lifts in the vicinity of the work site.
2. Cover with approved protective equipment, or isolate with suitable barriers, energized
phase and neutral wires, ground wires, messengers, and guy wires in the vicinity of the
work. Apply covering to the nearest and lowest conductor first and remove in reverse
order. Refer to Chapter 7.
3. Use approved live-line tools where required by Table 8-3. Rubber will be worn when
entering a glove-required area and removed only after leaving that area.
4. Observe the working distance requirements of Table 3-1.
5. Protective equipment and vehicle grounds will be removed at the end of each workday.
6. Work performed must be under the direct supervision of a qualified work leader devoting
full time and attention to the workers and the safety of their work.
7. Perform work on only one conductor at a time, although it is recognized that three-phase
lifting tools may be used.
Above 15,000 to 230,000 Volts
1. Except for the replacement of fuses and switching, work on energized lines or apparatus
at this voltage range should be performed by personnel specifically trained in the hazards
associated with voltages in this range. Follow the requirements of Table 8-3.
2. Live-line work above 36,000 volts will be done by personnel specifically trained in the
hazards associated with voltages in this range..
