A. We do not encourage any untrained person to remove trees adjacent to distribution power lines or to do tree work around energized lines. We will send a representative to make evaluations on a case-by-case basis. The Occupational Safety and Health Authority (OSHA) law states that an untrained person should not work within 10 feet of overhead energized conductors.
