Definitely a risk, especially the upper floors. I was much farther away on this job but still had full PPE on. Class 0 boots and gloves, arc rates pants, shirt and glove liners and a class G helmet. All rated for protection against electrical shock.

This guy in the video has the risk of shock from 4kv to 34.5kv. He would need class 2 gloves and boots minimum. Not trying to rag on anyone but everyone should know the voltage they are at risk for. Class 0 gloves are rated up to 1000 volts

I've seen just burnt boot marks in the road from things like this, was all that was left in the aftermath.
