§  207-a.  Employee safety in work on energized high voltage lines. 1.  There shall be  no  change  in  the  present  industry  work  practices,  procedures  and standards with regard to bare-hand, live-line techniques  or  with  insulated-glove  techniques  in  the  handling  of   energized  high-voltage lines and equipment having a voltage differential in excess  of  15 kv between any pair of conductors or grounds. Changes in industry  work practices, procedures and standards relative  to  the  handling  of  energized high-voltage lines and equipment having a voltage differential  in  excess  of  15 kv between any pair of conductors or grounds shall be  permitted where such changes require  the  utilization  of  "hot  stick"  methods.  Nothing  contained herein shall prevent any change in industry  work practices, procedures and standards with regard to the handling  of  energized voltage lines and equipment having a high-voltage differential  in excess of 100 kv between any pair of conductors or grounds.    2. For the purposes of this section the term "work" shall include, but  not  be  limited  to  the erection, maintenance, repair, construction or  installation of such energized conductors or  associated  equipment  and  lines in both emergency and non-emergency situations.    3.  No  provision  herein  is  to  prevent or prohibit any appropriate  administrative or rule-making body from making and  issuing  appropriate  rules  and  regulations concerning employee or worker safety in the work  to be performed on energized or properly grounded high-voltage  electric  transmission and distribution lines and equipment.
