Power Line Safety

Contacting an overhead power line could cost you your life.
Overhead power lines are not insulated. So if you touch one with your body, your equipment, or your tools, you or someone you work with could die. Everyone who works near power lines is at risk, whether you operate heavy equipment or use ladders and hand-held tools. It's up to you to work safely to protect yourself, your crew, and the public.
