Bucket Truck - Reducing the Risks of Electrocution
Many employees who are not trained electricians often operate bucket trucks in the course of their work. They include people who hang and take down holiday lights and decorations, trim trees, paint and do maintenance work on other high structures. They frequently work around utility lines and are therefore exposed to the dangers of electrocution.
The following electrical safety recommendations are essential for people who use bucket trucks to do non-electrical work to keep themselves safe from electrical hazards. The recommendations are based on the requirements established by a variety of agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH.
* Always insulate nearby power wires and use appropriately rated personal protective equipment if your work entails electricity in any form such as hanging electrical signs.
* Insulated buckets help to safeguard you from electrical hazards. Nonetheless, you need to constantly be on your guard to make sure that your gear can not accidently generate additional electrical paths to ground.
* Treat all utility cables as being energized and never touch cables with bare hands.
* Check insulation barriers and all gear for wetness, dirt, worn spots, cracks and other deterioration.
* Plan ahead and ask the utility company to shut down nearby power lines or set up protective insulation for the duration of the time you will be operating close to them.
* In general, keep yourself and all objects a minimum of ten feet away from all electrical cables.
* Always use non-conductive tools and personal protective gear that have the correct ratings for the job.
* Always use insulated buckets when operating around electrical cables.
OSHA guidelines state that for work around insulated electrical wires carrying less than 300 volts of electricity, the minimum distance workers should maintain is three feet.
NIOSH, however, recommends that for wires with less than and up to 50Kv, the minimum distance should be 10 feet. Over 50kv, NIOSH recommends 10 feet plus .4 inches for every kilovolt over 50.
CFR 1926.550(a)(15)(i) specifies guidelines for distances between crane & rigged loads and electrical power lines that is more in line with NIOSH's guideline - ten feet or more for electrical lines rated 50 kilovolt or less.
Given that most overhead power lines are not insulated, the best practice is to regard all electrical lines as energized and never to get closer than ten feet to any suspended power lines.
Electricity is one the hazards that bucket truck workers must deal with while doing their job. To avoid injuries and minimize damage to property and equipment training for bucket truck operators should be comprehensive and provide workers with safety guidelines on how to deal with the hazardous aspects of their work such as avoidance and protection from falls, vehicle maintenance and work zone safety.
