Bucket Truck Operators Tips on Reducing Electrical Hazards
Bucket Trucks are an indispensible utility vehicle of the modern industry. Of the many hazards associated with working with bucket trucks, electrocution is a major cause of injuries and fatalities. Training to recognize and avoid electrical hazards is important for reducing the number of electrical accidents.
Employees should be conscious that even low voltage utility drops to residential buildings such as energy lines and telephone wires can under many circumstances deliver sufficient electrical energy to endanger a person's life. The following are some basic safety guidelines for bucket truck operators who do non-electrical functions and are not trained linesmen or electricians.
* If you use equipment that increase your reach, the minimum distance you must maintain from power lines must be greater than the longest possible extension of the tool.
* Prior to commencing work, check insulation barriers and other equipment for wear. Do not use electrical equipment that is wet, has dirt on it, or shows signs of wear and tear on the insulation.
* Insulate nearby electrical cables and use approved protective equipment if your work is electrical in nature such as hanging lights or electrical signs.
* Ground workers around the bucket truck must not make physical contact with the vehicle or any parts of it when it is being used near electrical lines.
* If the work site is near power lines, enquire with the power company to see if they can de-energize the lines or install protective insulation over them for the duration of the work.
* Treat utility cables as being energized and never touch them with your bare hands.
* All electrical tools and equipment must have the correct rating for the job at hand.
* Check and make sure that the bucket is adequately insulated if you are going to be working around electrical cables.
* You must ensure all your equipment to prevent the creation of additional paths to ground even if the bucket of the truck is insulated.
* Keep a distance of at least ten feet from all electrical cables. The rule also applies to equipment.
OSHA safety regulations on working near insulated electrical wires state that for voltages of less than 300 the minimum distance workers need to maintain is 3 feet.
The 3 feet rule reflects OSHA regulations. NIOSH, on the other hand, recommends that workers maintain a minimum distance of 10 feet from overhead cables of 50kv or less. Above 50kv, NIOSH recommends an extra 0.4 inches for every 1kv over 50.
We note in passing that the regulations for crane & rigging safety, CFR 1926.550(a)(15)(i), specifies that a minimum clearance of ten feet be maintained between crane loads and electrical lines of less than 50kv.
The best safety practice is to maintain a distance of at least 10 feet from overhead power lines given that the greater majority of lines are generally not insulated.
Workers who operate bucket trucks face a lot of on the job challenges. In addition to electrical safety, workers require training on how to stop themselves from falling, deal with inclement weather, position the vehicle on uneven or rough job sites and manage traffic. Bucket Truck Training, consequently, should be well rounded and should train operators to deal with all safety aspects of their work.
