Electrical Damage to the Body If you touch a power line, or energized equipment,
electricity will attempt to travel through your body. It heats up and burns body tissue internally. Electricity leaves the body violently, causing burns
or even blowing an exit hole.

Operations Around Power Lines(up to 350 kV – 1926.1408)
The employer must make a hazard assessment and must define a work zone by demarcating boundaries.Option 1 — De-energize and ground the ground line.
Option 2 — Ensure that no part of the equipment, load line or load gets closer than 20 feet to the power line.
Option 3 — If line voltage is known—cannot get closer than minimum distances in Table A.
