meets certain insulating properties of a “hot
stick”. However, the web strap on this hoist is
not a rated insulating member. The web strap,
when clean and dry, may have dielectric
properties typical of polyester or nylon fibers.
Use appropriate insulating members in series
with this hoist to achieve proper working
distances per OSHA Regulation Subpart V,
1926.950 (see Table 1) or follow your
company’s safe work practices. If handle
swings closer to energized conductors than
OSHA working distances or company practices
permit, use appropriate rubber gloves rated for
the voltage.
