Question 1

What is the recommended height for tree work near Hydro-Québec power lines?

Accepted Answer

The felling and pruning of trees within three meters (10 feet) of Hydro-Québec's network present a very high risk of electrocution. Such arboricultural work is therefore governed by the Health and Safety at Work Act. This is why only Hydro-Québec or a professional tree surgeon authorized by Hydro-Québec has the right to perform such work.

Question 2

What is the difference between émondage and élagage?
