When working near powerlines, it is crucial to adhere to the minimum safe approach distances (MSAD) to ensure safety and prevent electrical hazards. These distances can vary depending on the voltage of the powerlines and the regulations set by local authorities or organizations.
Never approach power lines with ant part of your machine unless all local, provincial and federal required safety precautions have been taken. Use extreme caution.
Contact with energized power lines can and will cause DEATH or serious injury to persons in the platform and those on the ground in contact or near the machine.
You must assume your machine is NOT electrically insulated unless it is specifically indicated on the machine rating plate.
Only qualified persons may work on electric circuit parts or equipment that has not been de-energized.
