Brief

Bobsdecline, a lineman blogger, presents an unedited field-safety clip showing a scheduled residential disconnect and line removal halted when a pre-job assessment revealed a badly cracked crossarm supporting a 7,200‑volt primary line. The crew called off work, arranged a main-line interruption to repair the structure, and the 2026-06-20 video includes clips of the repaired crossarm.

Why it matters

During a pre-job hazard assessment on a scheduled residential disconnect and line removal, the lineman found a badly cracked crossarm supporting a 7,200-volt primary line directly above the work area and immediately called the job off.

Key details

  • The crew scheduled a main-line interruption to safely repair the damaged structure before any further work; the decision prioritized safety over completing the task.
  • Bobsdecline published the unedited clip on 2026-06-20 showing the initial hazard discovery and a few follow-up clips of the crossarm after repair on the channel 'Bobsdecline - Lineman blogger'.
Source evidence

Real field work isn't always about completing the task; it's about knowing when to walk away.

In this unedited video, I was scheduled to perform a standard residential disconnect and line removal. However, during the initial pre-job hazard assessment, I spotted a critical safety issue: a badly cracked crossarm holding a 7,200-volt primary line directly above the work area.

The job was immediately called off. We have scheduled a main-line interruption to safely repair the structure before this work can proceed. Stay safe out there.

This video shows a few clips of how it is now repaired!
