Lineworkers face some of the most dangerous electrical hazards on the job. Working on overhead lines, energized equipment, and high-voltage systems can put them at risk of electric shock, burns, fires, and explosions.

OSHA’s electrical safety standards are designed to help ensure these workers return home safely — by reducing exposure to these hazards and promoting proper training, equipment use, and safe work practices.

Protecting the people who keep our communities powered.

National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction May 4-8, 2026

Hold a voluntary event to talk directly to employees about safety. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on "Fall Hazards" and reinforcing the importance of "Fall Prevention". Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company's safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and other job hazards they see.
