LOOK OUT! - LOOK UP! ADVICE ON SAFE FISHING NEAR OVERHEAD ELECTRIC POWER LINES Several people have died and others have been seriously injured whilst using carbon fibre rods and poles near overhead electric power lines. The following advice is designed to prevent these events recurring: I. Because rods and poles containing carbon fibre conduct electricity, they are particularly dangerous when used near overhead electric power lines. Remember that electricity can jump gaps, and a rod does not even have to touch an electric line to cause a lethal current to flow. II. Many overhead electric power lines are supported by wood poles which could be mistaken for telegraph poles. These overhead lines may carry electricity up to 132,000 volts. III. The height of high voltage overhead electric power lines can be as low as 17ft and they are therefore within easy reach of a carbon fibre rod or pole. Remember that overhead lines may not be readily visible from the ground. They may be concealed by hedges or by a dark background. Make sure you “Look Out” and “Look Up” to check for overhead lines before fishing begins. IV. In general, the minimum safe fishing distance from 85
an overhead electric power line is two rod/pole lengths from the overhead line (measured along the ground). V. When pegging out for matches or competitions, organisers and competitors should, in general, ensure that no peg is nearer to an overhead electric power line than 30 metres (measured along the ground). VI. For further advice on safe fishing at specific locations please contact your local Electricity Board. VII. Finally, remember that it is dangerous for any object to get too close to overhead electric power lines, particularly if the object is an electrical conductor, eg. a lead cored fishing line, or damp fishing line or rod. 86
