Resumen Many occupational accidents (some fatal) involving electricity are due to contact of construction site machinery with overhead electric power lines. By analysis of accidents occurring in France, Quebec, Ontario and the USA, a typology of the risks involved has been established, according to: machine type (self-propelled mobile cranes, auxiliary truck-mounted cranes, etc); worker activity: machine operator or back-up work on the ground; type of contact: contact by vehicle, or man as contact elements or responsible for arcing; sector of activity. In order to prevent the risks, prevention techniques suited to each case are required, based on the different recommendations provided: procedure to follow in the event of accidental contact, staff training and information, safety by design, power supply cut-off, safety distances, driver or vehicle insulation, insulating structures or barriers, warning signs and instructions, insulating slings, alarms, etc. The problems associated with the detection of electric power lines are explained at length: survey of existing devices, difficulty in measuring electrical quantities. Power line detectors must be considered as operator aids for machines at risk, rather than as distance indicators.
