Overhead protection

['Cranes, Lifts, and Scaffolding']

Employees can be injured when contracting with overhead objects. To prevent this, they should follow these rules:

Be aware of overhead clearance and overhead objects, including ceilings.
Do not position aerial lifts between overhead hazards if possible.
Treat all overhead power lines and communication cables as energized and observe appropriate approach distances.
Ensure that the power-utility or power-line workers de-energize power lines in the vicinity of the work.
