Distance from overhead power lines
Taking care when trenching
The inadvertent severing of under-
ground cables or gas pipes may
cause an explosion and / or fire.
This may result in severe, poten-
tially fatal injury.
-
Before doing any trenching work,
check the course of cables, gas
pipes and water pipes.
-
Observe the statutory minimum
distance from cables, gas pipes
and water pipes. Never look into
the end of an inadvertently sev-
ered fibre-optics cable, as that
may severely injure the eyes.
Contact the local authorities and /
or supply enterprises (electricity,
gas, water, sewage, telecommuni-
cations etc.) to obtain information
on underground supply lines.
Severe, potentially fatal injury may
result from the machine or the front
equipment not being kept well clear
of overhead power lines.
-
If work is being done close to an
overhead power line, no part of
the machine or the load must
come within a distance of 3 m
plus twice the length of the over-
head power line insulator from the
power line.
-
Check out and observe the rele-
vant local regulations.
-
Wet ground increases the range in
which a person may get an elec-
tric shock.
-
Keep all persons or colleagues
clear of the location.
After contacting live wires
-
Do not leave the machine.
-
Drive the machine out of the haz-
ard zone. Warn others against ap-
proaching and touching the ma-
chine.
-
Have the live wire de-energized.
Do not leave the machine until the
contacted / damaged line has been
de-energized with absolute cer-
tainty.
