Pole Lease Agreements and Other Codes and Regulations
Pole Lease Agreements
Cable system operators often enter into contractual agreements with the owners of utility poles. The pole
owners are municipalities, telephone companies, and power companies. There are often specific safety practices
that are specified in the contract. These safety practices may be more restrictive than other codes and standards.
The contractual agreements should be investigated for safety requirements. The requirements should be inter-
preted, communicated and accordingly observed.
State, Local, and Municipal Codes
State, local and municipal codes may also apply to the construction of the cable
system. These codes will vary by location. These codes will have to be identified
and applied as required on a location specific basis.
