For example, according to DIN VDE 0105
.
For example as per ASME B 30.5 (USA)
• Erect an obstacle at the minimum safe distance (A) from the overhead
power line to keep the equipment of the truck crane and load/lifting tackle
away from the power line. Make allowance for the possibility the load or
the cable may swing.
• Cordon off the area around the truck crane at the safe distance (A). This
increases the safety area in case the power line is touched.
• Have banksmen in visual or radio contact with you; check that you are
observing the safe distance (A).
• If the load has to be guided, use only guide ropes of non-conductive
material.
If you do touch the overhead power cable:
• Keep calm!
• Do not leave the crane cab!
• Tell anyone standing outside not to touch the truck crane, the load or the
lifting tackle!
• Move the main boom out of the hazard area!
