Power crews are particularly vulnerable to heat stress due to the physical demands of their work and the insulating properties of their protective clothing. Heat stroke, marked by confusion and loss of consciousness, is a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate action. Lightning strikes pose a severe risk to workers on elevated platforms or handling conductors, as they can occur miles ahead of visible rain. Severe storm restoration efforts increase the likelihood of accidents due to fatigue, unfamiliar equipment, and hazardous conditions like energized downed lines. These risks underscore the importance of pre-season preparedness and strict adherence to safety protocols.
