May 2017 Be “electricity aware” for farm safety


Spring in Texoma is a time for planting of crops. SWRE reminds farmers to be particularly alert to the dangers of working near over- head power lines. Operating large equipment near these lines is one of the often overlooked, yet potential- ly deadly, hazards of working on a farm.


Start by making sure everyone knows to maintain a 10-foot clear- ance minimum from power lines. Be aware of increased height when loading and transporting trac- tors on trailer beds. Many tractors now have tall antennas extending from the cab that could make contact with power lines. Avoid raising the arms of planters or cultivators near power lines, and never attempt to raise or move a power line to clear a path.


Simply working too close to a power line is dangerous as electricity can arc or “jump” to conducting ob- jects, such as a ladder, pole or truck. Remember, non-metallic materials such as lumber, tires, ropes and hay will conduct electricity depending on dampness, dust and dirt contamina- tion.


If your equipment does come into contact with power lines, stay in the cab and call SWRE for help. If the
