WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MANAGE HEAVY VEHICLE LOADS AND DESIGNATED ROUTES TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH OVERHEAD POWERLINES?
What Happened?
During an infield equipment move the driver of a mobile field office trailer identified what appeared to be a construction powerline warning flagging fall to the ground in the rear-view mirror. A single-phase overhead powerline had dislodged from a nearby power pole and was suspended approximately 1 metre from the ground across the access track. The upper mast section of the communications aerial mounted to the rear of the trailer was also found on the ground.
