Joe,
That law certainly sounds like a good start.
However, this part of the law I have a problem with:
Quote
directly with rubber gloves or in any manner other than with insulated hot line tools in which case the worker shall maintain as a minimum clearance from such wire, equipment or conductor a distance consistent with the minimum requirements of the occupational safety and health act
Does the use of Cover sheets on the energised lines, not mean that you can work at closer proximity to the said lines?.
Also,
Strike me down for being a little thick on this one, but:
Quote
This section shall not apply to work done by any person who is commonly called a troubleman, while making emergency repairs, locating electrical faults, clearing defective apparatus, or answering service calls
How does the work of a "troubleman" differ from that of a Lineman in the US?.
