Electrical & Power Line Safety — Look Up Before You Move
On a construction site, one wrong move around overhead power lines can turn into a life-changing event in seconds.
Heavy equipment, dump beds, excavator booms, cranes, and raised loads can all create serious electrical hazards when work is performed near energized lines. That is why planning starts before the equipment ever moves.
At Longview Bridge & Road, we expect our crews to:
Identify overhead power lines during the pre-job inspection.
Treat every power line as energized unless confirmed otherwise.
Always maintain the required safe clearance.
Use a dedicated spotter when equipment is operating near electrical hazards.
Discuss power-line locations during the daily safety meeting/JSA.
Stop work immediately if conditions change or the safe work zone cannot be maintained.
The operator may be focused on the load, the trench, the truck, or the work directly in front of them. That is why we watch out for each other.
Before you raise a boom, dump a bed, or move a piece of equipment—
LOOK UP. KNOW YOUR CLEARANCE. PROTECT YOUR CREW.
At LBR, production matters—but no task is more important than getting everyone home safely.
