MNOSHA Instruction CPL 2-1.57A August 16, 2021 Transmission Distribution Subtransmission 500 kv 230 kv 138 kv 69 kv 7-13 kv ## 1. §1926.1407-.1411. Training. Sections 1926.1408(g), 1926.1409, and 1926.1410(m) all require that the employer meet the operator and crew member training requirements of §1926.1408(g). However, these training requirements are not duplicated or referenced for the application of §1926.1407 and §1926.1411. In accord with §1926.1407(b)(1), a planning meeting must be conducted with the A/D director, operator, and crew members and other workers who will be in the A/D area to review the location of power lines and the steps that will be implemented to prevent encroachment/electrocution. In addition, §1926.1404(d) requires the A/D director to ensure that crew members understand the hazards associated with their tasks. The employer's compliance with these two provisions would be sufficient to ensure that workers can perform their duties safely when A/D operations must be performed closer to power lines than required clearance distances. The equipment operator, a dedicated spotter (if needed), and any other competent person needed to make determinations required by §1926.1411 must be trained as required by other sections of Subpart CC. In addition to other applicable requirements of Subpart CC, the employer's compliance with operator certification/qualification requirements of §1926.1427, the dedicated spotter training requirements of §1926.1430(b), and for competent persons, the definition in §1926.1401, would be sufficient when the equipment is driven under a power line with no load. - Below is a discussion of training requirements that are common to §1926.1408(g), 1926.1409, and 1926.1410(m). - Inspection Guidance a.

# CRANES AND DERRICKS IN CONSTRUCTION If the operator can't see the warning line, you must use a dedicated spotter who is in continuous contact with the operator. ## 4. Do at least one of the following: • Use a proximity alarm that warns the operator when to stop movement. Use a dedicated spotter who is in continuous contact with the operator. The spotter must use a clearly visible visual aid to identify the minimum clearance distance; be positioned to gauge the distance accurately; and ensure that the operator maintains the distance. Examples of visual aids are lines painted on the ground, stanchions, and line-of-sight landmarks. - Use a device, such as a range-control warning device, that automatically warns the operator when to stop movement. - Use a device that automatically limits range of movement. - Use an insulating link or device, installed between the end of the load line (or below) and the load. ## Related Subdivision CC requirements 1926.1408 - Power line safety (up to 350 kV)-equipment operations 1926.1409 - Power line safety (over 350 kV) 1926.1410 - Power line safety (all voltages) - equipment operations closer than the Table A zone <table><tr><th colspan="2">Power line voltage (nominal, kV, alternating current)</th><th>Minimum approach distance (feet)</th></tr><tr><td>up to 50</td><td></td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>more than 50 to 200</td><td></td><td>15</td></tr><tr><td>more than 200 to 350</td><td></td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>more than 350 to 500</td><td></td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>more than 500 to 750</td><td></td><td>35</td></tr><tr><td>more than 750 to 1,000</td><td></td><td>45</td></tr><tr><td>more than 1,000:</td><td colspan="2">Determined by the utility owner or registered professional engineer who is a qualified person with respect to electrical power transmission and distribution</td></tr></table> 18

POWER LINE SAFETY - EVALUATING THE WORK ZONE ## Requirements for preventing encroachment/electrocution (Options 2 and 3) 1. Conduct a planning meeting. Meet with the operator and the other workers who will be in the area to review the location of the power line(s), and steps that will be implemented to prevent encroachment. 2. If tag lines are used, they must be nonconductive. 3. Erect an elevated warning line, barricade, or line of signs, in view of the operator. The warning line must have flags or similar high-visibility markings at 20 feet from the power line if using Option (2), or at the minimum approach distance under Table A, if using Option (3). If the operator is unable to see the warning line, you must use a dedicated spotter who is in continuous contact with the operator. 4. Do at least one of the following: - Use a proximity alarm set to give sufficient warning to prevent encroachment. • Use a dedicated spotter who is in continuous contact with the operator. Dedicated spotter must: - Be equipped with a visual aid to assist in identifying the minimum clearance distance, such as clearly visible lines painted on the ground, a clearly visible line of stanchions, or a set of clearly visible line-of-sight landmarks. - Be positioned to effectively gauge the clearance distance. - Use equipment to communicate directly with the operator. - Give timely information to the operator in order to maintain the required clearance distance. - Be trained to effectively perform this task, including training on the applicable requirements of 1926.1408. • Use a device that automatically warns the operator when to stop movement, such as a range-control warning device set to give the operator sufficient warning to prevent encroachment. - Use a device that automatically limits range of movement. • Use an insulating link/device that is installed at a point between the end of the load line (or below) and the load. 5.

# Material Delivery (cont.) ## 1. §§ 1926.1407-1411. Training. (cont.) The equipment operator, a dedicated spotter (if needed), and any other competent person needed to make determinations required by § 1926.1411 must be trained as required by other sections of Subpart CC. In addition to other applicable requirements of Subpart CC, the employer's compliance with operator certification/qualification requirements of § 1926.1427, the dedicated spotter training requirements of § 1926.1430(b), and for competent persons, the definition in § 1926.1401, would be sufficient when the equipment is driven under a power line with no load. Below is a discussion of training requirements that are common to §§ 1926.1408(g), 1926.1409, and 1926.1410(m). ## Inspection Guidance a. Observe equipment operations for indications that employees may not have been trained to perform their duties safely and interview individuals including the employer, operator, and crew members to verify that they have been trained in accordance with § 1926.1408(g) (all of the training requirements of § 1926.1408(g) also apply to §§ 1926.1409 and 1926.1410(m)). b. To verify training through interviews, the operator and/or crew member can be quoted elements of § 1926.1408(g)'s training requirements and asked to discuss those elements and any training they received. - For example, the operator can be asked to describe the safest means for evacuating equipment that has been energized from contact with a power line. The crew members can be asked to describe how contact with the power lines is being prevented on the worksite. Both can be asked to describe the hazards that most affect crew members around the equipment or those who handle the load in the event the equipment contacts a power line. These types of questions can help determine if the individuals interviewed have been trained on the topics specified by § 1926.1408(g). c. Also, if available, request and review copies of training materials and any…
