Overhead Electric Lines on Farms

The Overhead Electric Lines on Farms Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is designed to help farms manage the risks of working near high-voltage electric lines, with a practical guide to keeping safe on your property.

It covers planning to avoid working near powerlines, including marking power poles and the no-go zone, working around overhead electric lines with safe distances and effective communication, and the emergency steps to follow if contact with a powerline occurs.

An employee training and induction register helps you record that every worker is informed and competent in their tasks.
