How to act in dangerous situations

In the event that current is conducted to the machine from coming into contact with a power line, the
current is distributed from the point of entry in the earth.
The voltage decreases according to a funnel-shaped curve - a resistance area is formed.

Remain calm.
Alert the relevant power supply company.
Do not leave the cabin:
• Remaining in the closed cabin is relatively safe as it acts as a Faraday cage.
• Only evacuate the cabin in case of fire.
If the control machine is still functioning:
• Move the machine out of the danger area.
Remain in the cabin until current is no longer being conducted through the machine.
Never touch the machine's live parts (ropes, load, crawlers, etc) when touching the
ground.
Jump in a direction that avoids any contact with live parts.
Jump to a safe distance from the machine and land on both feet at the same time.
Land on both feet at the same time with legs closed (do not straddle).
Never hold on to the machine or any live parts.
Jump away on both feet with both legs pressed together.
While jumping away, keep well clear of any live parts.

Move people out of the danger zone,
Perform first aid if required
Only start to fight the fire if there is no risk to your personal safety.
Fire Classes Requirements:
