Be aware of induced voltage. De-energized lines may have enough induced voltage to cause injury or worse. Conductors that could have an induced voltage shall be treated as energized or properly grounded. Step potential presents a significant risk with downed wires as current may flow on the ground and cause injury or worse. Fallen wires will be treated as energized until it is determined both ends are down with open air breaks or the wire is properly grounded. Even cable television and telephone lines can become energized. Remember, it is not dead unless it is isolated with air breaks, tested de-energized and grounded! All conditions related to the safety of the work must be reviewed for each location. These conditions include: The presence and condition of protective grounds and equipment grounding conductors; the location of circuits and equipment (including electric supply lines and communication lines). Get direction from your crew guide if a job is not completed. Be aware that a different crew may be assigned to continue the job. Different responsibilities apply to customer owned equipment and company owned equipment. Check with your crew guide if you have any questions related to your responsibility on a particular job.
