NOTES:
1
Occupational Health and Safety authorities and electricity supply bodies in each State may
have issued guidelines for the use of cranes and other plant in the vicinity of overhead
conductors.
A conservative approach has been adopted. Separation distances have not been determined
based purely on electrical voltages of conductors, nor whether the conductor is bare or
insulated. The distances were chosen based on experience and practical considerations, since
telehandlers cannot be operated as accurately as arcing distances can be calculated.
(b)
(c)
Overhead power lineaerial conductors and other parts that make up an aerial line
for the distribution and transmission of electrical energy.
(d)
Before setting the telehandler into operational configuration, a check for the presence of
overhead conductors and power lines shall be undertaken.
All aerial conductors shall be treated as live unless documentary evidence that the
conductors have been positively de-energized, isolated or earthed has been received from
the electricity distributor or transmission line operator.
Where such documentary evidence has been made available, it shall state the date and time
frame of de-energizing, isolation, earthing and any special conditions and precautions. The
telehandler shall not be operated in contravention of this documentary information.
