#25A Power Line Distance Requirements

Overhead power lines have Power Line Distance Requirements — a set minimum safe distance that workers must maintain while working near them. 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.
