Introduction: A health and safety study that aims to develop PPE capable of reducing the shocks received by linesman.

Objectives: The project will aim to further develop the initial work that has been completed by Yasir Ahmed into the microshocks received by linesmen. This project will progress the initial studies to produce a harness and lanyard system that will reduce to an acceptable level or totally remove the microshocks that linesmen experience whilst climbing OHL towers with live adjacent circuits.
