Power Line Clearance Requirements Decal | OSHA Table A

EC-011

Keep power-line planning information visible on cranes, boom trucks, and related equipment with this Power Line Clearance Requirements decal. The 7 × 5-inch chart summarizes the printed planning thresholds, options, and Table A reference associated with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1407, 1926.1408, and 1926.1409.

This decal is a supplemental visual reference. It does not replace the complete current regulations, site assessment, voltage determination, employer procedures, encroachment-prevention measures, training, or a qualified person’s determination.

Information Printed on the Decal

The decal states that 20 feet of clearance is used for power lines up to 350 kV and 50 feet for power lines over 350 kV when determining whether any part of the equipment, load line, or load could enter the prohibited zone while operating up to the crane’s maximum working radius.

When the equipment could enter that zone, the printed summary identifies these paths:

  • Have the line verified as de-energized and visibly grounded by the utility owner.
  • Maintain clearance from the prohibited zone with additional encroachment-prevention measures as defined in 1926.1407, 1926.1408, and 1926.1409.
  • Determine the line voltage and the minimum approach distance permitted under Table A, together with the required additional encroachment-prevention measures.

The 20- and 50-foot figures are planning thresholds shown on the decal. They should not be confused with the voltage-specific minimum clearance distances in Table A.

Installation Guidance

Install the decal on a clean, dry, smooth surface where it can be read without covering equipment controls, required manufacturer labels, inspection information, or damage. Remove dust, grease, moisture, adhesive residue, and loose material before application, then press firmly across the full decal.

Inspect the decal during routine equipment inspections and replace it if it becomes loose, damaged, faded, outdated, or illegible.

Important Regulatory Information

Review the complete current requirements before planning or performing work near power lines. See OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1408 and the related provisions referenced on the decal.

Possessing or applying this decal does not by itself establish OSHA compliance or confirm that a work zone, clearance distance, voltage determination, or encroachment-prevention measure is correct for a specific operation.

Follow the equipment manufacturer’s label-location guidance. As a general recommendation, choose a fixed panel where the operator can read the chart before operating, such as inside an occupied cab or beside ground-level operating controls. Keep controls, windows, instruments and existing warnings unobstructed. This is general guidance, not a verified factory location for a particular model.

This decal provides a supplemental reference to selected planning information for heavy lifting equipment operating near overhead power lines. Workers must use the complete current regulations, work-zone assessment, voltage determination, employer procedures, and required encroachment-prevention measures when planning and performing the work.

The artwork references 1926.1407, 1926.1408 and 1926.1409 and includes “Table A – Minimum Clearance Distances While in Operation.” These identify the content printed on the sticker; the decal is not a substitute for the complete current requirements or site-specific planning.
