Power lines don’t change—but risk does.

The distance between a crane and an energized line is one of the most critical factors on any job.

And it’s one of the easiest to underestimate.

It doesn’t take contact.
It doesn’t take a mistake.
It just takes getting too close.

Operators know the risk—but it’s the planning and positioning that make the difference.

Clearances must be known.
Spotters must be engaged.
Conditions must be reassessed continuously.

Because once a crane gets inside minimum distance, there’s no time to fix it.

The standard never changes—respect the distance, respect the hazard.
