Safe distance for blasting operations near highvoltage lines. Blasting SafetyRevisiting Site Security. a construction blasting operation near Marlboro NY flyrock was showered on passing motorists on Route 9 W about 180 feet from the blast pit. This incident resulted in property damage and injury.
The National Electrical Code or NEC defines high voltage as any voltage over 600V. High voltage can be AC (alternating currentusually sinusoidally varying) or DC (direct currenta fixed and steady positive or negative voltage) or pulsed (a nonperiodic positive or negative pulse of voltage).

Before assembly or disassembly of a crane the employer must determine if it could come within 20 feet of a power line (up to 350 kV). If so the employer must take one of the following actions (a) Confirm with the power company that the line is deenergized and visibly grounded at the worksite. (b) Make sure no part gets within 20 feet of the power line.
202189 · Working near live overhead electric lines and underground electric cables is responsible for many incidents every year. These incidents often result in the death of or serious injury to people damage to equipment and disruption of electricity supplies. A number of these incidents are related to tree work near live electrical equipment.
