Thousands of overhead contact systems (OCS), also known as catenary systems, are used to transmit power to trams, trolleys and trains across the world.
Technicians that maintain the overhead lines and equipment need to know the unique safety hazards involved with OCS installations. For example, when working on a deenergized, grounded system, technicians must understand the results of a vehicle crossing from a live section to the deenergized section at a bridging point can momentarily energize the system under maintenance. An effective electrical safety training program can ensure OSHA compliance and minimize the risk of electrical accidents during energized or deenergized work.
