Pennsylvania Statutes Title 52 P.S. Mines and Mining § 690-328. Guarding

At all landings and partings or other places where individuals are required to regularly work or pass under trolley or other bare power wires, which are placed less than six and one-half feet above top of rail, a suitable protection shall be provided. This protection shall consist of placing boards along the wire, which boards shall not be more than five inches apart nor less than two inches below the lowest point of the wire. The distance between boards on curves may exceed five inches, but shall not exceed eight inches. This does not prohibit the use of other approved devices or methods furnishing equal or better protection.
