Mine was out for 4 and half hours due to Blizzard conditions. In Minnesota. Thanks to those lineman who went out in the storm to get us energized again.
Actually some jobs you are working around energized lines. Regardless you assume all lines could become reenergized. Once everything is isolated you still maintain your safety.
I hope all the negative commentors realize, he's does it this way because, he's on film. These are the rules his company demands he work from. So, the name calling is quite unfair. It just goes to show that every linemen is a critic and believes he can build it better.
Sure wayne. We are all critical. Or maybe we see through bs and recognize some kid got handed a job by daddy and it’s insulting af to the real linemen.
Yes in a perfect world everyone should have a lock however in this industry there's not always a lock so the lead puts the tag on the poles on both ends. Also before you heat anything up you call dispatch and they will aslo tell you if anyone else is work on the line

@@ashfordminer2390 Actually, he said distinguish instead of extinguish. And this in no way is taking words out of context. That's exactly what he said. Yes, he made a simple mistake, just like you did. Mistakes are to be acknowledged and avoided, not have excuses made for them.
@@stargazer7644 This video is a joke. Real lineman are heroes, but they don't look or talk like this. They don't casually walk on-screen in a group when they show up. They don't stand in the middle of the street making a video when they should be opening switches after lines are down on the road. They don't pull out a piece of paper and proclaim "It shows here that IM IN CHARGE". This isn't 1980, the information about an outage (which they all have since they showed up in the right place) doesn't come on a piece of paper. They have a sense of urgency and if they're just arriving on site they're looking up at the problem and the work they need to start preparing for (while discussing it), they're getting on their radio getting work authorization, parts, additional resources and help, and they're assessing risks to safety and property, as well as assessing other damage. They don't stand there like minions awaiting commands from a dweeb with a god complex that has to tell them "it's overhead".
Everyone must have lockout locks. Everyone working on the job should have their lock on that disconnect lockout. Be safe don't trust anyone with just one lock on there with your life.
I’m a labor in facility maintenance department at a company. A lot of the safety stuff is CYA. Cause we’re open to the public when we work, you never know when the insurance or powers that be are watching. After being a private investigators assistant, we’d get calls all the time to check if company’s have traffic cones, safty vests, caution tape and such out while working. My boss hated doing these jobs and would charge crazy amounts just to try to avoid them. The companies that hired us ended up not caring about the price and would send us to places to see if safety were being followed.
I am not a Lineman, although I have worked with up to 500KVA..... and this is painful to watch. WHO IS THIS GUY? Where did they find him, and has he ever done this before?
I'm actually surprised. Every seabee i talked to loved their job (until they were forced too cross rate). I just finished 5 years as a EM, did a little construction and roofing and thinking about being a lineman. What about the job is the worst? (Edit: I tried to convert to construction electrician in 2016, 23 ppl applied and 2 ppl got it in my command)
Austin Crane line work is easy more than it’s hard. Worst thing is working with dumb asses or someone that knows it all. Or working with ppl that’s there just for a check. Transmission is the way to go, that away from distribution.
God bless him, he is an enthusiastic guy who no doubt worked his way up the ladder of the power game. BUT . . . .not at all a polished speaker and the presentation content is harmed badly by the style and various idiosyncratic things about him. The ear ring complaint however is silly. Hell, what if he wore three ear rings? Just wish they had held a long practice session for this poor guy before putting him on camera. Safety emphasis was excellent.
James Lee he knows the set up and should have practice if he didn’t. If you don’t don’t something every day your not gonna be good at it. Besides, we just dumb asses doing a job nobody else will do.
Linemen used to be rough guys. Pull everything with ropes. Nowadays linework is like navy seals. It isn't too hard and every big kid wants to do it. I climbed with no buck squeeze and let me tell you when you're 90 foot up, looking down with 2 spikes 1/4 inch in the pole, you lose it for a moment. One slip you're done. I slipped coming down and not falling is the only fucking thing God has done for me. I slipped on a step down and one knee jammed into my chest. Those bucksqueezes save lives, but allow some pussies to be linemen. Alot of guys wouldn't do it without bucksqueezes. I'm all for them though. A safety measure to save someone from lifelong impairment is a good thing. I think they waited so long to make them because linework was "mans" work. It's kinda like tight rope walking. Everyone'll do it if there's a safety to keep you from falling. Nobody will do it, very few, if there's no safety.
@@jonathanwillard663 You: "This safety equipment means some pussies or doing the job" Also you: "This safety equipment saves lives" Also you: "I'm all for them". You sound like a moron, nobody is a pussy because they demand standard safety equipment.
@@jonathanwillard663 I work for a cable company and we dont use buck squeezes. just your regular climbing strap. I had a co-worker slip down a pole, he hugged on to the thing and boy did that pole fuck up his stomach and chest. we dont need to climb as high as power lineman, i think the highest ive climb was 40 - 50 feet high,, but after 15 feet, whos counting. thats high enough to kill. still though, it never bothered me, i feel safer strapped to the pole than on a extension ladder on a downhill line. have you ever been on a 30 foot ladder then have it slip only to have it hanging on by the tip of one strand hook? it takes nerves of steel just NOT to jump off.
@@jonathanwillard663 you’re a fucking moron. Imagine degrading someone for being safe. I’m sick of all you old school lineman calling out the new guys because they use fall protection. I have a family to go home to. I’ll be god damned if I’m going to put myself at risk of losing that. You realize being a lineman already is dangerous and they’ve come a long way to making it a safer job... the idea of fall protection just makes the job that much more safe. Quit bitching you idiot fuck.
Hmmm, I've worked cable before. Funny, I could have swore that we worked at height, in trenches and alongside power. I guess that wasn't electricity flowing through my lines to power the amps that bring your TV and Internet into your house. Hmmm, I guess I didn't read that safety bulletin about the cable installer who was killed because an electrician back fed power onto CATV causing the installer to be electrocuted. I guess those classes I took in electrical theory and engineering must have been a dream. I'd like to see you do the job. Bet you wouldn't last a day. I worked great with the power guys and they worked great with me. At least I know what channel to block from RUclips now.

Yeah long hrs. then gopes on to say I work 16 then go home for 8 . etc etc. Its embarrassing.. I think even some of the Bell Guys would have an issue working with this lineman.. The dude is a joke with his ego. cant work for someone like that. where its me me me me me. not we we we we. this dude is a real charm i bet to work with i bet...!!! LOL. embarrassing. But hes trying hard he probly just doesnt know how to talk to the general public without sounding like a General on the battlefield who isnt really a general..
this is older, but lineman should be trained as arborist to handle smaller issues, clearly not whole massive trees, split in half whole trees, but small to mid size branches they should be capable of handling
23:10 Talk about Safety hu? Working 14, 16 Hour Days. Maybe he shudda had keep that one hush. Also whats with the earings and the rings, ah i know perfect way to check if line is energized, beats using a multimeter right?.
and ring... Ridiculous. But Hes trying hard. Hes Just not a good presenter . Its not his best job to do presentations. Though I would beleive he may be good at his job ..
@@MadNlGER bruhh these dudes are straight newbs lol I'm sure that one guy still trying to get that wire into that sleeve with that hoist sucked all the way in😂😂
“Alternating current continues to rotate around through the process of electricity” wut ? Lol I give him credit cause he’s just shooting from the hip... thumbs up for the line crew tho ...
He’s trying to dumb it down for the people. He could definitely start talking ohm’s law, amps, watts, volts, grounding, transmission, transformers, insulation, the electrical properties of metals used for wires, the purpose of step down transformers, how what he’s working on gets down to house current etc… but the presentation would be a few days long and half the people there wouldn’t understand any of it.
3:10 A pocket full of keys is not a good thing. Key's in your right pocket will require a skin graft from your left thigh if electrocuted. Trust me, I've seen it happen.
Blocks and Tackles for "thousands of years".. Ok... i didnt know they had electricity for that long.... And Yes those pickles do come off... Seen them fall off before!
I work in plant maintenance for an isp. We’re banned from using pickles as they are all failing on us a few years later. Pretty dangerous for some guys up on their ladders hanging drops haha. We use straight preforms only now.
Why the negative feedback? I think it's a good video. he's going in detail of what the procedures are. just like you would in a classroom/field training. For the ones that want to rush, go ahead and forget the details climb up and pray you don't end up Barbecue.
This guy is a pain in the ass. When I show up on site the service men go hide out somewhere. Once we show up they bounce. I would definitely tell this guys to kick rocks
I have never seen a lineman climb. And judging from the ages of some of the seasoned lineman, they are not required to climb. That’s for the younger guys.
So this guy couldn’t say the other dudes shirt is 8cal, then explain it. His sleeves are only meant for brush up contact which is why the rating isn’t the same as the gloves. And that the fact before the video even started he never threw the switch and verified as he’s standing in the “hot zone” Wind gust is legit it is 30mph sustained. But I’d love to see yalls SOP on lightning. The SOP on the system I work says first visual sight of lightning all buckets down, because? Electricity travels. It could hit between the bracket grounds and cook you like a steak from your drunk uncles wedding.
I love how this foreman took the opportunity to tell us he was in charge at least 10 times that I counted. I can't help but think he has some inadequacy issues. Just sayin.
Most other areas, the crews take a look at what is needed to safely restore power. They notify the operations center and then do the work. They notify the operations center when the power is back on. They make notes and sketches of any changes that were done and provide the notes to the records department for updating the records of any changes. This guy is doing an over-production on what needs to be done and how long it takes to do the restoration. I would have three areas restored by the time this guy does one area. If this guy worked up in Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine where the temperature in the winter time is often at or below -20 degrees, he would learn to work a little more productively and do less talking.
so many things wrong here. the way he is discussing the work plan during the tailgate to the safety procedures he's explaining. a top hand never tries to fight the weight of the hoist by putting it on all at once. put your grips on then run out your hoist and clip it in. little things make a big difference

Steel shank for climbing
I thought electricity was a force generated at the quantum level not a process.
We don't have anemometer to tell us the wind is 29 or 40 mph
correction, the harness saves you from hitting the ground if he falls out of the bucket.
Nice earing dude!
He has his wedding ring on also, dumbass!
and ring... Ridiculous. But Hes trying hard. Hes Just not a good presenter . Its not his best job to do presentations. Though I would beleive he may be good at his job ..
Beats using a multimeter..
@Brexit Monger yeah takes big balls to stand around and watch
ohhh and he got the keys!! fk this guy would end up with a spray foamed muffler in my country!
Jacking into the sleeve...
Hmm
Where is the beer cooler, after all this safety crap, it must be time for lunch...
Someone needs to learn the difference between wire and cable.
I'm glad they can't outsource these jobs to China.
There's some guy in China working on a drone with fully articulating arms thinking: _hold my beer..._
Could this guy say "ok' or "alright" one more time please?
AR556NATO he’s nervous man...his boss probably made him do this video
Ok
That guy is an ass. How many times did he say that DSO has relinquished authority to him?
Good informational video
Grip is too close to cigar splice... Ran out of strap on splice.. rookie mistake..
maybe next time youll run your hoist out a little farther so youll have room to work lol
Dude. Chill. He’s a real lineman and the line is his. He’s hard money af 😂 😂
@@MadNlGER bruhh these dudes are straight newbs lol I'm sure that one guy still trying to get that wire into that sleeve with that hoist sucked all the way in😂😂
You know he was sweating his ass off when he realized he two blocked that hoist on camera
“Alternating current continues to rotate around through the process of electricity” wut ? Lol I give him credit cause he’s just shooting from the hip... thumbs up for the line crew tho ...
He’s trying to dumb it down for the people. He could definitely start talking ohm’s law, amps, watts, volts, grounding, transmission, transformers, insulation, the electrical properties of metals used for wires, the purpose of step down transformers, how what he’s working on gets down to house current etc… but the presentation would be a few days long and half the people there wouldn’t understand any of it.
Is he a serviceman or a lead lineman. I'm confused
I don’t know but he does have an earring
3:10 A pocket full of keys is not a good thing. Key's in your right pocket will require a skin graft from your left thigh if electrocuted. Trust me, I've seen it happen.
So try really, really hard not to get electocuted. Mm'kay?
Where else do you keep your lockout key, aren't they required to be on your person so it can't be re-energized while you're working?
Blocks and Tackles for "thousands of years".. Ok... i didnt know they had electricity for that long.... And Yes those pickles do come off... Seen them fall off before!
I think he means that the block and tackle has been used for thousands of years to help lift heavy things, not just heavy electrical cable.
I work in plant maintenance for an isp. We’re banned from using pickles as they are all failing on us a few years later. Pretty dangerous for some guys up on their ladders hanging drops haha. We use straight preforms only now.
NY and PA locals make 56 and hour 😳
ok
Why the negative feedback? I think it's a good video. he's going in detail of what the procedures are. just like you would in a classroom/field training. For the ones that want to rush, go ahead and forget the details climb up and pray you don't end up Barbecue.
How do I become a lineman?
you apply for electricity at school. then either get work as an electrician, a telephone guy, or a lineman. Depends on where you end up .
Ok alright ok alright ok
"You understand " likes he's talking to little kids
This guy is a pain in the ass. When I show up on site the service men go hide out somewhere. Once we show up they bounce. I would definitely tell this guys to kick rocks
Ok
+Alex Armstrong Okay.
Ok
I have never seen a lineman climb. And judging from the ages of some of the seasoned lineman, they are not required to climb. That’s for the younger guys.
Now I know why it took a 3 fucking weeks to get power back after Irma. Just kidding you guys are amazing and all the respect for you guys.
So this guy couldn’t say the other dudes shirt is 8cal, then explain it. His sleeves are only meant for brush up contact which is why the rating isn’t the same as the gloves. And that the fact before the video even started he never threw the switch and verified as he’s standing in the “hot zone” Wind gust is legit it is 30mph sustained. But I’d love to see yalls SOP on lightning. The SOP on the system I work says first visual sight of lightning all buckets down, because? Electricity travels. It could hit between the bracket grounds and cook you like a steak from your drunk uncles wedding.
This guy should go back to Wichita.
how much a lineman earns in a month????
In line work that's all up to you really
I love how this foreman took the opportunity to tell us he was in charge at least 10 times that I counted. I can't help but think he has some inadequacy issues. Just sayin.
bleed orange!!!
Only if he brushed it
Most other areas, the crews take a look at what is needed to safely restore power. They notify the operations center and then do the work. They notify the operations center when the power is back on. They make notes and sketches of any changes that were done and provide the notes to the records department for updating the records of any changes. This guy is doing an over-production on what needs to be done and how long it takes to do the restoration. I would have three areas restored by the time this guy does one area. If this guy worked up in Vermont, New Hampshire or Maine where the temperature in the winter time is often at or below -20 degrees, he would learn to work a little more productively and do less talking.
so many things wrong here.
the way he is discussing the work plan during the tailgate to the safety procedures he's explaining.
a top hand never tries to fight the weight of the hoist by putting it on all at once. put your grips on then run out your hoist and clip it in. little things make a big difference
