Aerial Equipment Contact: No Imminent Danger

If your aerial equipment comes into contact with a power line and there is no fire or other imminent danger, take the following steps:

• Remain on the equipment. Move the equipment away from the line if you can do so safely. If the equipment cannot be moved, all personnel on the equipment should remain there.
• Warn others to stay far away. Anyone who touches the equipment or even the ground nearby may be injured or killed.
• Have someone call Evergy’s emergency number immediately. Utility personnel will respond quickly, switch off the power, and tell you when it is safe to get off the equipment. Wait for their instructions.
