New Testing Standards for Live Line Work

I wanted to discuss the recent updates on testing standards for live line work that were introduced last month. It’s crucial for us to understand how these changes might impact our safety protocols, especially given the increased risks associated with working under load. Has anyone else had a chance to review the new guidelines and their potential implications?

I’ve looked over the new standards, and one big takeaway for me is the emphasis on real-time monitoring tools during live line work. It really made me think about how we can leverage tech to improve our safety protocols, especially since working under load has its risks. Has anyone tried integrating these tools yet to see how they enhance safety?
