Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) General.
			 This paragraph provides additional requirements for work performed on or near
			 overhead lines and equipment.
(a) The
			 employer must determine if elevated structures such as poles or towers are
			 capable of withstanding the additional or unbalanced stresses of climbing or
			 equipment. If the pole or other structure cannot withstand the expected loads,
			 the employer must brace or otherwise support the pole or structure to prevent
			 failure.
Note to paragraph (1)(a): Appendix D to Division 2/RR contains
				test methods that employers can use to determine whether a wood pole is capable
				of sustaining the forces imposed by an employee climbing the pole. This
				paragraph also requires the employer to determine that the pole can sustain all
				other forces imposed by the work employees will perform.
(b) When a pole is set, moved, or removed
			 near an exposed energized overhead conductor, the pole may not contact the
			 conductor.
(c) Raising poles,
			 towers, or fixtures close to high voltage conductors must be done under the
			 supervision of a worker qualified for this work.
(d) Conductive rigging (wire rope) may not be
			 used to raise poles, transformers, and other equipment except when such rigging
			 is below, protected, or at a sufficient distance from energized high voltage
			 conductors to prevent hazardous contact.
(e) When a pole is set, moved, or removed
			 near an exposed energized overhead conductor, the employer must ensure that
			 each employee wears electrical protective equipment or uses insulated devices
			 when handling the pole and that no employee contacts the pole with uninsulated
			 parts of their body.
(f) To
			 protect employees from falling into holes used for placing poles, the employer
			 must physically guard the holes, or ensure that employees attend the holes,
			 whenever anyone is working nearby.
(g) Suitable guards and barriers must be
			 erected so that workers or tools and equipment will not fall into or
			 accidentally contact energized conductors or equipment.
(h) Materials and tools other than belt tools
			 for which the body belt is designed:
(A) Must
			 be raised or lowered by means of a suitable container or handline.
(B) May not be thrown to or from employees
			 working on poles or structures. When field conditions prevent the use of a
			 handline or alternative method from being done safely, a designated drop zone
			 must be established. Clear communication must occur to prevent employees from
			 entering the zone while material is being dropped in a controlled manner.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 437 - DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AND BUSINESS SERVICES, OREGON OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH DIVISION › Division 2 - GENERAL OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH RULES › Section 437-002-2317 - Line-clearance Tree Trimming

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
This rule provides additional requirements for line-clearance
				tree trimming and for equipment used in this type of work.
(1) Electrical hazards. This paragraph does
			 not apply to qualified employees.
(a) Before
			 an employee climbs, enters, or works around any tree, a determination must be
			 made of the nominal voltage of electric power lines posing a hazard to
			 employees. However, a determination of the maximum nominal voltage to which an
			 employee will be exposed may be made instead, if all lines are considered as
			 energized at this maximum voltage.
(b) There must be a second line-clearance
			 tree trimmer within normal, unassisted voice communication under any of the
			 following conditions:
(A) If a line-clearance
			 tree trimmer is to approach more closely than 3.05 meters (10 feet) to any
			 conductor or electric apparatus energized at more than 600 volts or
(B) If branches or limbs being removed are
			 closer to lines energized at more than 600 volts than the distances listed in
			 Table RR-4, Table RR-5, Table RR-6, and Table RR-7 or
(C) If roping is necessary to remove branches
			 or limbs from such conductors or apparatus.
(c) Line-clearance tree trimmers must
			 maintain the minimum approach distances from energized conductors given in
			 Table RR-4, Table RR-5, Table RR-6, and Table RR-7.
(d) Branches that are contacting exposed
			 energized conductors or equipment, or that are within the distances specified
			 in Table RR-4 Table RR-5, Table RR-6, and Table RR-7 may be removed only
			 through the use of insulating equipment.
Note
to paragraph (1)(d): A tool constructed of a
				material that the employer can demonstrate has insulating qualities meeting
				paragraph (3) of 437-002-2309  is considered as insulated under paragraph (1)(d)
				of this rule if the tool is clean and dry.
(e) Ladders, platforms, and aerial devices
			 may not be brought closer to an energized part than the distances listed in
			 Table RR-4, Table RR-5, Table RR-6, and Table RR-7.
(f) Line-clearance tree trimming may not be
			 performed when adverse weather conditions make the work hazardous in spite of
			 the work practices required by this rule. Each employee performing
			 line-clearance tree trimming in the aftermath of a storm or under similar
			 emergency conditions must be trained in the special hazards related to this
			 type of work.
Note
to paragraph (1)(f): Thunderstorms in the
				immediate vicinity, high winds, snow storms, and ice storms are examples of
				adverse weather conditions that are presumed to make line-clearance tree
				trimming too hazardous to perform safely.

			 ensure that no employee looks into an open waveguide or antenna connected to an
			 energized microwave source.
(b) If
			 the electromagnetic-radiation level within an accessible area associated with
			 microwave communications systems exceeds the radiation-protection guide
			 specified by 1910.97(a)(2), the employer must post the area with warning signs
			 containing the warning symbol described in 1910.97(a)(3). The lower half of the
			 warning symbol must include the following statements, or ones that the employer
			 can demonstrate are equivalent: "Radiation in this area may exceed hazard
			 limitations and special precautions are required. Obtain specific instruction
			 before entering."
(c) When an
			 employee works in an area where the electromagnetic radiation could exceed the
			 radiation protection guide, the employer must institute measures that ensure
			 that the employee's exposure is not greater than that permitted by that guide.
			 Such measures may include administrative and engineering controls and personal
			 protective equipment.
