Retired lineman 31 years couldn't believe how close they placed themselves without cover on hot lines 😲

I spent 0 years as a lineman and i see nothing wrong. Good job guys!

They seemed very relaxed which is another thing we call complacency. I kept thinking one of these guys is gonna get his face bit. I guess everybody has a different level of comfort. Or lack of respect. If you said one of these guys is dead in 5yrs I wouldn’t be surprised and I’ll leave it at that.

Nice video, just watched that while on lunch did some line work myself just a little bit earlier. I like those clamp tops a lot, so nice!

This work is a lot different than the work I do. Climbing up utility poles with gaffs in the Navy Seabees is about as close as I ever got to being a lineman. Look, lock, drop. Repeat. I rewire old houses theses days and there's no shortage of old houses and work in New Jersey. Thanks for the informative video.

I watched a video called Life on The Line with Travolta and my respect for these guys jumped 110% Thank You to all the Lineman who risk their lives for our comfort.

It's interesting to hear the comments from the retired linemen. It's called progress, guys. We get better at things over time. A surgeon who spent 30 years doing open heart surgery with very low success rates would be bewildered watching a surgeon today perform cardiac catheterization as an outpatient procedure!!

Excellent video! Great safety meeting!! Line men totally have my resect! You would never see me up there doing that!

[Capslocks]

much respect for those that do this kind of work... as an ex-military men, u couldn't pay me enough to do this... i respect electricity too damn much to mess with it.

[nickdeabreu]

25 year retired lineman here. Don't think I have ever seen so many safety violations on one job.Shame on the line foreman. SMH

You guys are good! I have observed the orange insulators over the lines while technicians are working and wondered if they could be applied easily. Your video answers this question! Your work makes me appreciate the professionalism exhibited by these folks! Thanks for keeping my lights on! Stay safe!
