Bucket Truck Safety – Eliminating the Risk of Electrocution

Many personnel who are not trained electricians operate bucket trucks in the course of their work. They include individuals who hang and take down holiday lights and decorations, trim trees, paint and do maintenance work on other high structures. They regularly work around utility lines and are therefore exposed to the dangers of electrocution.

The safety guidelines outlined below are mainly for “non-electrical” bucket truck workers. However, the basic principles of safety apply to all employees who are most likely to face electrical hazards, such as construction employees on scaffolds with nearby electrical lines, while on the job. The guidelines include safety requirements established by various regulatory agencies such as OSHA and NIOSH.

* People around the bucket truck should not touch the vehicle when it is in use around utility lines.

* All objects and personnel ought to be kept at least 10 feet away from electrical lines.

* Increase the minimum distance from power lines when utilizing extension tools so that the tools cannot make accidental contact with the line at its longest extensions.

* When working around electrical lines the bucket need to be insulated with material that is correctly rated.

* Always check with the utility company to see if they can turn off the power or install insulation over nearby power lines.

* Personal protective gear and electrical tools should be correctly rated for the job being performed.

* For close work near live lines, you should insulate power lines and use appropriate personal protective gear.

* All utility lines need to be treated as energized and never be touched with bare hands.

OSHA safety regulations for working near insulated electrical wires state that for voltages of less than 300 the minimum distance workers need to maintain is 3 feet.

However, NIOSH recommends the more stringent minimum distance of 10 feet for wires carrying voltages less than and up to 50kv regardless of insulation. NIOSH also recommends an additional .4 inches of clearance for each kv above 50.

We would like to mention that the regulation on safety clearance between crane loads and utility lines (CFR 1926.550(a)(15)(i)) recommends a minimum distance of at least 10 feet for lines that are rated less than 50kv. For additional regulations related to electrical safety , please refer to 29 CFR 1926.950(c)(1), 1926.451(f)(6), 926.550(a)(15), 1926.416(a)(1), and 1926.453(b)(3).

Most utility lines are not insulated. So the best safety practice is to regard all electrical wires as live and not to get closer than ten feet to them. Naturally, you will need to take into account all other safety factors and increase the minimum safe distance accordingly.

To prevent injuries and minimize equipment and property damage bucket truck operator training should be well rounded, and it should provide safety training for avoiding all the dangerous aspects of a job.
