Safety First:
In construction work, working safely can mean the difference between life and death. Safety Should Be Everyone’s #1 Priority! BGE strongly encourages you to evaluate your projects for power line safety considerations BEFORE construction starts, to improve safety and reduce costs for everyone.

You are required by law to comply with the following laws and codes:

• Maryland High Voltage Line Act
• National Electrical Safety Code
• Occupational Safety and Health Act

Compliance with these rules helps to safeguard those working around overhead lines, saving lives and preventing injuries.
