What must an Electrical Worker consider when supporting conductors during vertical installations?

When supporting conductors during vertical installations, it is critical to consider securing the reels and the need for supplemental braking. This involves ensuring that the conductors are properly managed and controlled as they are being installed, particularly because they can be heavy and unwieldy.

Securing the reels prevents them from rolling or moving unexpectedly, which could create hazards or damage the conductors. Supplemental braking is equally important because it helps control the descent of heavy conductor reels, ensuring that they do not drop too quickly and cause injury or equipment failure. The combined strategies of securing the reels and providing supplemental braking create a safer work environment and help maintain the integrity of the installation process.
