The lineworker wears special conductive clothing that is connected to the live power line, at which point the line and the lineworker are at the same potential, allowing the lineworker to handle the wire. The lineworker may still be electrocuted if he or she completes an electrical circuit, for example by handling both ends of a broken conductor.
A worker may use a conducting wand during the approach to first make the connection. Once on the line, the worker is safe from shock as both the lineworker and the wire are at the same electric potential, and hence no current passes through their body. This is the same principle as that which allows birds to safely sit on power lines.
