MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND
ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING
ARRESTORS.
This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of
lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the
antenna.
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the
building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1
OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND
CANNOT MOVE:
DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no
longer are in contact with electrical power.
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are
certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
