Indiana State FACE Investigators' Recommendations to Prevent Similar Construction Fatalities
- Contact the local utility company to de-energize or insulate power lines before the commencement of any work task.
- Conduct a jobsite survey before starting any work to identify any hazards, implement appropriate control measures, and provide subsequent training to employees specific to all identified site hazards.
- Develop and implement a written safety program designed to enable workers to recognize and avoid hazards, especially electrical hazards.
