Implementation of Safety Specifications for Site Pole Delivery and Handling The establishment of a section in the specifications for transmission and distribution work involving poles to secure the site from the possibility of poles rolling using methods not easily defeated by the public is required. This section will outline the use of cradles on-site to secure the poles as well as the conditions of temporary storage areas such as grade, distance from changing grades, and ground. All managers must be educated on the hazards of pole rolling, on identifying current and future hazards regarding the rolling of poles, and periodic refreshers on the safety issues regarding rolling poles through use of internal web communication tools. The necessary specifications of temporary pole storage must be included in job briefs and the contractor safety SOP in order to ensure a contractor-based workforce (with high volatility and turnover) properly secures poles left on-site, as well as continuous identification of the hazards involved in rolling poles to ensure ongoing awareness. Continuous safety auditing to ensure the hazard...
