YES Option #1 Deenergize & Ground Option #2 Maintain 20foot clearance by doing these:
Option #3 Ask Utility for Voltage and Use Table A to get the minimum clearance and maintain the clearance by doing these:

Is the maximum radius of the crane is within: 20 feet of a power line 350kV, or 50 feet of a power line > 350kV, or OPTION 3 - if the voltage level is known, the minimum distance listed in chart A? Encroachment Prevention Measures
(Equipment Operations)

NO

No further action

Must do all of these: Must have a planning meeting If tag lines are used they must be Non-conductive Elevated warning lines, barricade or line of signs must be positioned visible to the operator. PLUS one of these must be used (Choose one): Proximity alarm, dedicated spotter, warning device, range limiter, or insulating link

Must Show: Staying outside zone is infeasible Infeasible to deenergize and ground
All of the following are required: 1. 2. Power line owner sets minimum approach distance Planning meeting minimum procedures
- Dedicated spotter - Elevated warning line or barricade - Insulating link/device - Nonconductive rigging - Range limiter (if equipped) - Nonconductive tag line (if used) - Barricades - 10 feet from equipment - Limit access to essential workers - Prohibit non-operator workers from touching above insulating link - Properly ground crane - Deactivate automatic re-energizer - Insulating line cover-up installed
