Scout's Toolbox Talks

All overhead power line zones must be clearly marked using visual barriers or warning devices.

Why It Matters:

Workers may forget where hazards are — especially during busy lifts. Clear visual warnings reduce the chance of accidental contact or encroachment.

Key Points:

• Use high-visibility tape, cones, or barricades to define danger zones.
• Post “DANGER – Overhead Power Line” signs near lift or equipment areas.
• Ensure warning devices are maintained and visible throughout the shift.
• Replace faded or damaged markers immediately.

✅ If it’s marked, it’s noticed.

Ask the Crew:

• Are power line zones clearly marked?
• Do markings stay up and visible throughout the day?
