Brief

Bobsdecline’s unedited field video (tutorial-style/field report) documents a pre-job hazard assessment for a residential disconnect where the crew discovered a badly cracked crossarm supporting a 7,200-volt primary line. The crew cancelled the job, scheduled a main-line interruption for repairs, and emphasized stopping work when conditions are unsafe.

Why it matters

On 2026-06-15 Bobsdecline (lineman blogger) called off a scheduled residential disconnect and line removal after spotting a badly cracked crossarm above the work area.

Key details

  • The compromised crossarm was supporting a 7,200-volt primary line; work was postponed pending a planned main-line interruption to repair the structure before resuming the job.
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.
