Those involved in the high risk area of working near power lines can prevent serious injury or death if they take the necessary precautions required to ensure their safety. Section 483 of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations states that “a person shall not operate a mobile crane, boom truck or similar equipment without having first completed a safety training program on power line hazards as prescribed by WorkplaceNL. WorkplaceNL has developed a Power Line Hazards Certification Training Course which will provide (PLH) participants with the knowledge and skills required to prevent injury and death caused by contact with power lines and the emergency response to contact if it occurs.
