Power Line Distance Requirements Safety Bulletin – Motion Picture

Overhead power lines have a limit of approach, which is a safe distance that workers must keep while working. If workers need to work near electrical lines, the employer and workers must know the voltage carried in those lines. Workers must maintain the minimum distances specified in the following table. The limits of approach also apply to equipment such as ladders, scaffolds, booms, forklifts, aerial lifts, sets, cranes, and other rigging.
