 | | Setting a pole in a live circuit is an everyday practice in most electrical utilities and the communications industry. |
 | | Many utilities have taken the position that all poles are conductive and, therefore, the same procedure for setting a pole in a live circuit should apply, whether the pole is wood, steel or concrete. |
 | | The workers at risk, while setting a pole in a live circuit, are the workers on the ground, operating the boom, controlling the pole butt and anyone standing near or touching the truck, trailer, groundingcables and/or ground rod. |
