75 Point Explanation

Remember that it is safest to avoid working around power lines. If you must do so, ensuring a minimum 10-foot distance will require a conscious effort to maintain a distance considerably greater than 10 feet to allow for unexpected movement of the vehicle or parts in the direction of the power line (misjudgment, swaying or other conditions). Be especially mindful of clearances with machines that have swing attachments (Cranes, back hoes, dump boxes). Minimum distances greater than 10 feet are required when working around lines that carry more than 50,000 volts.
