The following minimum clearances must be maintained between scaffolds and exposed, energized power lines: 2 feet for insulated power lines of less than 300 volts, and. 10 feet for insulated power lines of 300 volts or more and for all uninsulated power lines. Additionally, what is the maximum distance the front edge of most scaffolding can be from face of work? 14 inches What is the minimum width of a scaffold plank?All scaffold planks must be inspected and tested before use.
