§ 39.428. Stringing wires.
(a) Employes shall not string wire near live lines except by means of suitable insulating hand lines or other appliances. Care shall be taken to avoid bringing string wire in contact with the live lines. Employes shall regard them as live wires of the same voltage because of their liability to come in contact with the live lines.
(b) Employes shall not change the strains on a pole by adding or removing wires until assured that the pole is able to stand the altered strains.
(c) In stringing wires employes shall not allow them to sag so as to endanger vehicles or pedestrians below, unless traffic is intercepted by a watchman or otherwise.
