Assess Damage and Plan Equipment

What happens here

Begin by assessing the condition of the Service Entrance Cable (SEU) and the surrounding terrain. In this case, the SEU cable's straps have ripped off the house, and the ground is uneven and muddy. The electrician determines that a Baker scaffold is necessary due to the challenging terrain, providing a stable platform where a ladder would not be safe. Prepare the scaffold by removing one of its wheels to better accommodate the sloped ground, ensuring the base is as level as possible.

Goal: Determine the best equipment for safe access and prepare the work area.
