All rights reserved. iiiIntroductionFall protection equipment, work methods, and training for working in elevated positions has been applied toindustry in general. Utilities are a very sma
6、ll and specialized part of general industry and therefore requirespecialized climbing practices. Federal regulation proposed in 1989 caused the utility industry to realize thatgeneral industry regulations were impractical when applied to utility structures and climbing practices. Thisstandard was de
7、veloped from a trial guide established to provide fall protection applications that are specificto the utility industry.Injuries and death from falls have long been the concern of every worker and employer whose work involvesworksites at elevated locations. As data has been accumulated regarding fal
8、ls, it has been recognized thatfalls occurred because protective equipment, regardless of how minimal or inadequate, was ignored or mis-used. Workers died or sustained serious injury because they were not trained to use, or simply decided theydid not need to use, fall protection. Today, in most area
9、s of the utility industry, employers have mandatoryrequirements regarding the use of fall protection in accordance with current accepted practice. Together,modern day equipment and training can minimize the risk of a worker falling.This standard was written by Standards Working Group, 15.07.02 of th
10、e IEEE Engineering in the Safety,Maintenance and Operations of Lines (ESMOL) Subcommittee 15.07. It includes contributions from Sub-committee 8, Part 4, Working Rules of Accredited Standards Committee C2, National Electrical SafetyCode (NESC), as well as persons from other national committees and or
11、ganizations. The initial trial-useguide was reviewed, not only by electric utility organizations, but also by organizations associated with thecommunications, tree trimming, and structure painting industries. In accordance with the IEEE-SA Stan-dards Board Implementation Plan for Metrics, metric uni

Overview1.1 ScopeThis standard provides general recommendations for a fall protection program for substation and generationstructures and equipment, communication including Community Antenna Television (CATV),trans
30、mission, and distribution structures. It is not intended to include all of the proven practical methods andprocedures; however, the selected recommendations covered under this standard are based on soundengineering principles, engineering safety considerations, and research into the tools, methods,
31、practices,and training provided to and by electric power and communications workers.This standard applies to electric distribution, transmission, and generation work, communications work(including CATV), line clearance tree trimming work (tree work performed from an aerial device or from aladder), a
32、nd structure painting. It does not include work in vaults, manholes, or other confined spaces.Requirements regarding floors and similar surfaces, stairways, guardrail systems, and scaffolding of alltypes are not considered in this standard.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this standard is to provide rules,
33、 work methods, and equipment specifications to protectemployees covered under the standard from being injured by falls and provide emphasis to encourage fur-ther development in equipment, work methods, and training relating to fall protection programs used forutility work. This standard clearly diff
34、erentiates between the processes of climbing to a worksite versus theactual activities at the worksite. This standard permits qualified climbers to free climb when it is safe to doso, but requires them to be attached while at the worksite. 1.3 ApplicationThis standard is broad yet specific enough to
35、 apply to the fall protection of personnel climbing and workingat a variety of elevated worksites considered for the utility industry. Since fall prevention and protectionpractices for different circumstances are influenced by the nature of the circumstance, care shall be exercisedwhen applying thes
36、e practices to a specific job and location. IEEEStd 1307-2004 IEEE STANDARD FOR FALL2 Copyright 2004 IEEE.
