(2) "High‑voltageline" means all aboveground electrical conductors of voltage in excess of600 volts measured between conductor and ground.
(3) "Person"means natural person, firm, business association, company, partnership,corporation, or other legal entity.

The message panel shallcontain the following words, either in black letters on a white background orwhite letters on a black background: "UNLAWFUL TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENTWITHIN TEN FEET OF OVERHEAD HIGH‑VOLTAGE LINES Contact with power linescan result in death or serious burns." A symbol or pictorial panel mayalso be added. Such warning sign language, lettering, style, colors, size, andformat shall meet the requirements of the American National Standard ANSIZ535.4‑1991, Product Safety Signs and Labels, or its successor or suchequally effective standard as may be approved for use by the Commissioner ofLabor.
