Default Re: To touch, or not to touch

1. Which hand of the gloves has 6 fingers worn through, left or right?
2. That job would require access to the high voltage (power cut out), low voltage covered, called tiger tails or taraplois here, and the safest way would be to cut from a cherry picker (bucket truck), preferably insulated.
3. Tree branches and trunks can be very good conductors of electricity. If you are going to be working in the vicinity of power, I STRONGLY suggest you undertake training in this work environment. The course here is called Cert of Exemption 5099 or Powerline Awareness ISSC 26.
Hope this helps,
Steve
