OSHA Orientation Training
There is a minimum clearance requirement between scaffolds and power lines. Scaffold systems and all components should remain clear of power lines during all stages of use. Use the following charts for specific clearance info:
| Voltage | Minimum Distance | Alternatives |
| Less than 300 volts | 3 feet (0.9m) | None |
| 300 volts to 50 kv | 10 feet (3.1m) | None |
| More than 50 kv | 10 feet (3.1m) plus 0.4 inches (1.0 cm) for each 1 kv over 50 kv | 2 times the length of the line insulator, but never less than 10 feet (3.1m) |
