October 31, 2008, Newsletter Issue #165: Ladders And Power Lines

Tip of the Week

When using a ladder on a house, tree or any other structure near a power line, use extreme caution. Even wooden ladders can conduct electricity after coming into contact with a live wire. When suffering an electric shock on a ladder, the victim often falls off of the ladder. Providing the shock hasn't severely injured or killed the victim, a high fall certainly can. This is why the pruning of trees or installation of satellite dishes near power lines is often best left to paid professionals.
