Overhead Powerlines – Toolbox Talk
Look up, stay alive. This Overhead Powerlines Toolbox Talk trains your crew to recognize and respond to one of the most fatal, yet preventable, worksite hazards: energized conductors overhead. Whether operating booms, moving ladders, or staging scaffolding, this talk helps prevent arc flash, electrocution, and contact injuries through spacing, awareness, and planning.
Ideal for construction, utility, equipment operation, and transport crews working near power infrastructure.
