3. Be careful when working on your roof. That includes cleaning gutters, installing antennas and satellite dishes or Electric Insulating fitting any repair work. 

4. Never climb trees near power lines. Check Silicon Rubber Insulator

5. Never trim trees near power lines. Leave that to a professional.

6. Always follow safety procedures, no matter how boring and mundane they seem. Just remember, “Working safely may get old, but so do those who practice it.”

7. Assume all power lines are energized. 

8. Train yourself/your workers. You/they should be versed in emergency communication and proper techniques for providing aid to someone after an electrical accident.
