From the Preface The Lineman's and Cableman's Field Manual is written to accompany The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook. The Field Manual contains many of the same pertinent tables, charts, formulas, and safety rules that are found in the Handbook. The goal of the Field Manual is to provide the information that is needed on the job site in a format that can be quickly and easily accessed. This customizable tool provides specially designed notes pages for personal notes. It is written for the apprentice, the lineman, the cableman, the foreman, the supervisor, and other employees of electric line construction contractors and transmission and distribution departments of electric utility companies. The Field Manual contains definitions of electrical terms and diagrams of electric power systems, plus sections devoted to line conductors; cables, splices, and terminations; distribution voltage transformers; guying; lightning and surge protection; fuses; inspection and maintenance plans; tree trimming; rope, knots, splices, and gear; grounding; protective grounds; and safety equipment and rescue. Safety is emphasized throughout this book. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation (Standards - 29 CFR) 1910.269, Electric Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution, has been included due to its significance to the industry and for the safety of the individual. Of course, understanding the principles involved in any operation and knowing the reasons for doing things a given way are the best aids to safety. The opinion has become quite firmly established that a person is not a good lineman unless he does his work in accordance with established safety procedures and without injury to himself or others. It is necessary for those engaged in electrical work to know the safety rules and the precautions applicable to their trades as specified in the National Electrical Safety Code, OSHA standards, and their employer's safety manuals and standards. Observing safety rules and procedures must be an inseparable part of their working habits. This Field Manual places emphasis on the National Electrical Safety Code, OSHA standards, ANSI standards, and ASTM standards. Important requirements of all of these are discussed, but also they should be studied for detailed work procedures. Many applicable codes and standards are specified throughout the text to assist the reader. The lineman and the cableman must become acquainted with the minimum construction requirements and maintenance and operating procedures in the various codes and standards to ensure the safety of the public and all workers. All linemen and cablemen must know the information in the National Electrical Safety Code and adhere to the rules and procedures while performing their work assignments. The National Electrical Code details the rules and regulations for electrical installations, except those under the control of an electric utility. It excludes any indoor facility used and controlled exclusively by a utility for all phases from the generation through the distribution of electricity and for communication and metering, as well as outdoor facilities on a utility's own or a leased site or on public or private (by established rights) property. The editors are well aware that one cannot become a competent line man or cableman from a study of the pages of this book alone. However, diligent study along with daily practical experience and observation should give the apprentice an understanding of construction and maintenance procedures - and a regard for safety - that should make his progress and promotion rapid.
