Production activities potentially expose staff to the risk of electrocution from contact with overhead power lines e.g. when using radio cars and other technical vehicles with masts. Actual contact with a power line is not necessary to result in electric shock.

For working under or closer to power lines, a maximum vertical height of 2.4 metres when measured from ground level to the highest point (allowing for Vehicle height, personnel, equipment, or anything else) is permissible.
