DESCRIPTION:Serious electrical shocks have occurred during transmission lin
 e stringing activities in Australia over the last 20 years. Unfortunately\
 , there are no standards or guidelines that adequately cover the electrica
 l safety aspects associated with stringing. This talk discusses and explai
 ns the electrical hazards associated with stringing\, including magnetic a
 nd electric induction\, transferred potential rise\, direct contact and li
 ghtning. Physiological effects of electric shock are discussed and options
  for derivation of electrical safety limits are presented. Basic electrica
 l safety precautions are recommended along with a process for risk assessm
 ent. More detailed mitigation measures\, training and administration of co
 ntrol measures are also presented. Recommendations on equipment used for e
 arthing are also put forward.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Engineers Australia\n\nS

 ring transmission line stringing activities in Australia over the last 20 
 years. Unfortunately\, there are no standards or guidelines that adequatel
 y cover the electrical safety aspects associated with stringing. This talk
  discusses and explains the electrical hazards associated with stringing\,
  including magnetic and electric induction\, transferred potential rise\, 
 direct contact and lightning. Physiological effects of electric shock are 
 discussed and options for derivation of electrical safety limits are prese
