Louisiana law (LRS 45:141-146) prohibits unauthorized persons from working, including moving equipment, within 10 feet of any high-voltage overhead electric utility line unless the following requirements are met:

  • Before any unauthorized person works within 10 feet of any high-voltage overhead electric utility line, the person responsible for the work to be done must notify the owner or operator of the high-voltage overhead electric utility line not less than 48 hours prior to commencing work.
  • Work shall be performed only after satisfactory mutual arrangements have been completed between the owner or operator of the high-voltage overhead electric utility line and the person responsible for the work to be done.
