Vertical Cable Runs on Wooden Poles
Any cables which run vertically on the pole must be fixed at a minimum of 450mm intervals and must not impede access to the climbing steps.
Standard cable cleats tend to get lifted off the pole by safety belts and ladders rubbing against them, which can lead to insecure/loose cables. Therefore the CP must fix cables using a 16mm aluminium strip.
The CP must secure the strip using 38mm long galvanised bonding nails along with galvanised steel flat washers with a 6.5mm diameter centre hole.
Protection of cables are solely the responsibility of the CP but it is recommended to cover cables up to 2.3 metres minimum from the ground by suitable capping.
