In addition, the participants have to evacuate a “victim” from a pylon of 110 kV line and provide emergency aid. When selecting the best team of electricians in servicing grid lines, the jury will examine the speed and quality of task execution, selection of tools and instruments, as well as the compliance with safety rules and internal training methods.
