Identify and Mark Potential Hazards
Before setting up equipment, walk the work zone and mark all hazards with highly visible tape, cones, or signage. Common hazards include overhead power lines, exposed live conductors, sharp conduit edges, wet floors, trip hazards from tools or debris, and confined entry points. Use lockout/tagout procedures to de-energize any circuits that could accidentally become energized during the pull. If the wire path crosses near energized equipment, install protective barriers or insulating blankets to prevent accidental contact.
Setting Up a Safe Work Area
Once 'e prejob preparation i s comple, the next step i s to physically prepare the workspace. Gerai organizuotas, clearly marked work area reduces confusion, prevens unautorized access, and prodides a clearn environment for handling cable and tools.
