• Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines, apparatus, or any energized
(exposed or insulated) parts in accordance with the Minimum Approach Distance
(M.A.D.) as specified in Table 1-1.
• Allow for machine movement and electrical line swaying.
Table 1-1.Minimum Approach Distances (M.A.D.)
• Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft (3 m) between any part of the machine and
its occupants, their tools, and their equipment from any electrical line or
apparatus carrying up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is required
for every additional 30,000 volts or less.
• The minimum approach distance may be reduced if insulating barriers are
installed to prevent contact, and the barriers are rated for the voltage of the line
being guarded. These barriers shall not be part of (or attached to) the
machine. The minimum approach distance shall be reduced to a distance within
the designed working dimensions of the insulating barrier. This determination shall
be made by a qualified person in accordance with the employer, local, or
governmental requirements for work practices near energized equipment.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIBITED
ZONE (M.A.D.). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WIRING ARE
ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE
