Handling Exposed or Live Wires

Exposed wiring presents significant hazards during recovery operations.

  • Inspect for Damage:
    • Check for exposed, frayed, or damaged wires before interacting with the vehicle.
  • Use Non-Conductive Rigging:
    • Employ soft rigging (e.g., straps) to avoid accidental contact with high-voltage systems.
  • Collaborate with Emergency Responders:
    • Notify and coordinate with emergency services for safe handling of live wires.
