2. Find out the no-go zone distances set by your state or territory regulator and network operator, and mark them on site.
3. Fit height limiters or proximity alarms to cranes, tippers and other plant working near lines.
4. Use a trained safety observer whenever plant or long materials could come near the no-go zone.
