Context is important. Is this your uncle's job or is he just some dude fuking with power lines trying to get free cable?

that's what you're supposed to do. I used to work on the powerlines a few years ago

before bucket trucks existed that's how it was done

Cable jockeys do it all the time, is it safe, yea for the most part.
I work for the power company and slap a ladder against the phone/cable to get to the secondary.

Interesting, good to know srs. I've seen them lean the ladders on the poles, but hadn't seen them lean the ladders directly on the cables.

High voltage lines are on the top of the pole so technically, yes those should just be cable runs. Would i do it? Helltotheno

Ive never seen those lines but its pretty nuts how the protective coating on wires stops electricity. You can hold the line while its hot and youll be fine, but if you touch bare copper youll get shocked. Youll get hit hard if you become grounded and complete the circuit

Theres prob protective coating on the wire, may have gloves, the rubber on the tools will stop current, rubber feet on the ladder, rubber shoes, etc., etc.

But i still wouldnt do it unless i were trained

I'm not sure if he has a climbing belt, I'll have to ask him to make sure that he's doing it right. repped

I can see he has one, but he probably should wear it lower, dude probably has lower back problems, the key is to get some of the glute on the belt.

The big companies are HUGE ON SAFETY SRS.

Incidents make your insurance go up and around here OSHA violations get you on a non safe company list which. n make them ineligible to bid on city, government, commercial or industrial jobs.

For my company things like being close to a leading edge or not being tied off on a boom lift is automatic kick off the site
