Host employer responsibilities regarding distribution of safety information

Did you know, before any work begins, that Host employers must inform Contract employers of know conditions that are related to the safety of the work to be performed, including environmental conditions to the extent they relate to electric lines and equipment?

For example, the Host employer must inform the Contract employer of known ground conditions that impact the stability of, or an employee’s ability to safely climb, a pole. In generating plants, the Host employer is required to inform Contract employers of the known presence of coal dust or fly ash to the extent the presence of those substances relate to electric lines or equipment.
