Procedures Before Pole Dressing 1. Review the engineering plan and determine the construction point for pole dressing, 2. Check completeness of materials withdrawn at Stores for the assigned pole dressing job. 3. Check logistics requirement of either gondola or non-gondola work. 4, Toavoid any inconvenience to the public, clearance shall be secured from concerned traffic authorities or local barangay officials prior to actual work, if necessary. 5. Check existing overhead distribution/sub-transmission facilities if there is a need to interrupt affected lines. Submit a request for Pre-arranged Job Interruption to Operations Planning Unit if needed. B. Procedures during Pole Dressing 1. The supervisor shall conduct tailgate conference before starting work, in order to instruct linemen on the work to be done and the safety precautions to be observed, 2. Position line trucks and mechanized equipment so as not to obstruct or interfere with vehicular traffic or driveways. 3. Post early warning devices or caution signs at the job site for safety, 4, For night work, set up the floodlights energized through a portable generator, installed in an appropriate location for optimum visibility. 5. Electrically ground all mechanized equipment using equipment supplied grounding cable or with additional grounding clusters, if necessary. 6. RequestSystem Operation (DELTA) for the appropriate clearance tag when working near energized overhead distribution lines. (Refer to Meralco Safety Code - Tagging Rules.) 7. For work with pre-arranged job interruption, coordinate with System Operation (DELTA) for the clearance to work on the interrupted line. Perform line testing on the interrupted line then enclose the work area with grounding clusters prior to commence with the assigned activity. 8, Install conductor covers or other insulated protective cover when working near overhead distribution facilities.?

For work using a gondola, secure the gondola to the crane hook and installa safety rope to act as back up support for the gondola, Linemen who will work in the gondola must secure their safety belts and harness to the gondola steel frame for safety. The crane operators will then extend the crane boom and maneuver the gondola to the position where pole dressing will be performed. 10, For work without a gondola, a linemen will climb the sub-transmission pole bringing with him a hand line which will be used for raising tools and line materials needed for pole dressing. When working on 90ft concrete segmented pole, pole steps (5/8” machine bolts or equivalent) must be installed prior to installation of hand line. Notes: 1, Before & while working on the pole, the involved personnel shall observe all the safety rules and regulations as stated in the latest edition of the Company Safety Code to ensure their safety. 2. If there are parked vehicle(s) under the pole, request the owner(s)/driver(s) to relocate the vehicle in a safe place. . Installation of Pole Dressing. 1. Assemble the insulators and other line hardware at the ground prior to installation, 2. Damaged insulators should be removed and replaced. The insulators should be clean and free of contamination 3. Insulators and hardware, when properly aligned, should fit together without using undue force. 4, Raise the insulators and other line hardware. 5, Care should be taken in raising the insulators so as to avoid damage or breakage. 6. Attach the insulators and other line hardware into the pole using bolts specified in the engineering plan. Ensure that all machine bolt nuts were properly tightened, 7. After the installation of pole dressing on 90ft. segmented concrete pole, remove all installed pole steps and hand line. 8. For the dressing of polymer insulators, refer to NGK manual on Handling Instructions for Polymer Insulators, reference no. 20010727-1 D. Procedures before Leaving the Work Area. 1, Check that all members of crew are all accounted for and have climbed down the pole.@ MERALCO WEDTC-212.00 Work Instruction Rev.
