						made to comply with Article 17, Section
						2812.1 of these orders.
(c) Substation Entry.
(1) Report upon entering. Upon entering an
						attended substation, each employee, other than employees regularly working in
						the station, shall report his or her presence to the employee in charge of
						substation activities to receive information on special system conditions

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Electronic News Gathering (ENG). A task or series of
						  tasks applied to capturing news, sporting or other live events on location
						  using cameras and support equipment and using recorded media for live
						  transmission and/or reception. For the purposes of this regulation, ENG
						  includes Satellite News Gathering (SNG), Electronic Field Production (EFP), and
						  other activities which are functionally similar to ENG.
ENG Vehicle. An ENG vehicle has a transmitter and may
						  also have a receiver. An ENG vehicle employs an elevating antenna, dish, laser,
						  or similar device or structure in order to transmit, receive, or relay video,
						  audio, or data signal to or from a broadcasting station, fixed or mobile relay
						  point, including satellite or other spacecraft, or other facility for immediate
						  or delayed processing for use in broadcasts or closed circuit transmission.
						  Excluded from this Article are mobile cellular telephone sites, sometimes
						  referred to as cells-on-wheels (COWS) used exclusively for cellular telephone
						  communications.
Step potential. "Step potential" is the voltage between
						  the feet of a person standing near an energized grounded object. It is equal to
						  the difference in voltage, given by the voltage distribution curve, between two
						  points at different distances from the "electrode." A person could be at risk
						  of injury during a fault simply by standing near the grounding point.
Touch potential. "Touch potential" is the voltage
						  between the energized object and the feet of a person in contact with the
						  object. It is equal to the difference in voltage between the energized object
						  and a point some distance away. It should be noted that the touch potential
						  could be nearly the full voltage across the grounded object if that object is
						  grounded at a point remote from the place where the person is in contact with
						  it.
Step and touch potentials are illustrated in Figure
						  1.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Positive means, such as momentary contact
						(continuous pressure) switches, shall be used to raise or rotate elevating
						antennas, such as microwave masts, dishes, or similar structures. The switch
						shall be located to assure that personnel operating the elevating antenna will
						be where they can continuously and responsibly observe the environment overhead
						during the raising or rotating operation.
(b) Level indication devices shall be
						provided in an observable location on the ENG vehicle to indicate the level of
						the vehicle front to rear and across the width.
(c) A spotlight or functionally equivalent
						means of illumination shall be provided on all ENG vehicles equipped with an
						elevating antenna, such as a microwave mast, dish, or similar structure.
						Illumination shall be adequate to assist operating personnel in locating
						overhead hazards, such as power lines within the proximity of the elevating
						device during periods of darkness or reduced available light.
(d) Audible and visual warnings shall be
						provided to warn the driver when movement of the ENG vehicle is attempted while
						the mast, dish, or similar structure (antenna) is not stowed. A visual warning
						readily observable to the driver shall occur when the engine is running and the
						antenna is not stowed. A non-cancelable audible alarm with a nominal sound
						loudness of 80-85dB at the driver's position shall occur when movement of the
						vehicle is attempted unless the elevating antenna is stowed.
(e) Warning Signs. Each ENG vehicle equipped
						with elevating mast, dish, antenna, or similar apparatus, shall be posted with
						durable, permanent warning signs.
(1) A
						warning sign shall be posted in plain view of the mast operator's position with
						lettering not less than ½ inch in height on a contrasting background
						reading: "Unlawful to operate this equipment within 10 feet of high-voltage
						lines of 50,000 volts or less."
(A) In
						addition to the above wording, the following statement in small lettering shall
						be provided on each mast operator warning sign: "For minimum clearances of
						high-voltage lines in excess of 50,000 volts, see California Code of
						Regulations, Title 8, Article 37, High-Voltage Electrical Safety
						Orders."
