Linemen ensure they do not get electrocuted while working on power lines by wearing specialized insulated gloves, using insulated tools, maintaining a safe distance from live wires, and following strict safety protocols and procedures.
Humans get electrocuted on power lines because the high voltage electricity flowing through the lines can pass through their bodies, causing serious injury or death.
Birds perching on power lines do not get electrocuted because they are not completing a circuit by touching another conductor. The power lines are insulated and the birds' legs are not close enough together to create a path for electricity to flow through their bodies.
Birds do not get electrocuted when sitting on power lines because they are not completing a circuit for electricity to flow through. The electricity in power lines travels in a closed loop, and birds are not grounded so there is no path for the electricity to flow through them. Additionally, most power lines are insulated to prevent electricity from leaking out.
When you get electrocuted by a power line, the electrical current can pass through your body, causing serious injury or even death. The high voltage can disrupt the normal functioning of your heart and other vital organs, leading to cardiac arrest or severe burns. It is important to stay away from power lines and always seek help from professionals if you encounter a situation involving electrical hazards.
A laser can be used to ensure precise alignment of straight lines in writing by projecting a straight beam of light onto the writing surface, serving as a guide for keeping the lines straight and aligned.

There are three main types of linemen in the field of electrical work: distribution linemen, transmission linemen, and substation linemen. Distribution linemen work on power lines that deliver electricity to homes and businesses. Transmission linemen work on high-voltage power lines that carry electricity over long distances. Substation linemen work on equipment that controls the flow of electricity in substations. Each type of lineman plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to customers.
Usually they don't.
As of recent estimates, there are approximately 120,000 electric linemen working in the United States. These skilled professionals are essential for the installation, maintenance, and repair of power lines and electrical systems. The demand for electric linemen is expected to grow due to the increasing need for infrastructure improvements and renewable energy projects.

First off you should not be touching any high voltage source whether you are grounded or not. A pole isn't typically dangerous, it is the wires on the pole. A path to ground is required for a current to flow. Technicians working on high voltage power line often touch the lines and ensure they are not grounded when doing so, by using special procedures. That is why birds can sit on bare power lines without getting shocked.

Linemen (this is the term used even for women working in the field) are sometimes called lineworkers, power line technicians (PLTs), or a power line workers. They are the professionals to construct, rig, and maintain electrical power lines, distribution centers, fiber optic lines, and lines or cables for telegraph and television transmissions.Linemen work outside almost exclusively, in all sorts of weather and conditions, including high level wire work on telephone poles and electrical towers. They are often working with “live” wires, running current. Their duties require acute observational skills, attention to detail, and extreme manual dexterity and physical strength for climbing and using special equipment. Linemen often work as part of a team, so communication skills are important.In terms of education, linemen need a high school diploma or GED that includes at least a year of algebra, plus specific training and qualifications gained through certifications or professional official apprenticeships served under experienced senior linemen. Many linemen finish high school then get a two-year Associates technical degree while they work as an apprentice. Many trade schools and community colleges offer specific training and certificates for linemen, though it is important to make sure that the program offers training regarding electrical distribution theory as well as hands-on practical labs. Many people finish high school and get a jump-start on lineman training by working for a local contractor in hopes of being apprenticed.Apprenticeship qualifications (http://www.electricaltrainingalliance.org/training/apprenticeshipTraining) include a year of high school algebra, successfully passing a drug test, and qualifying score on an aptitude test. The IBEW, the official trade organization for linemen, offers information about training including locations with approved training and information about colleges offering approved two year associates degrees and four year bachelors degrees designed to prepare students for future jobs as linemen.
They do make good money, but the downside is how dangerous an occupation it can be. I almost went into this career but went another industrial route and went into Industrial Technology instead. They do however teach safety classes on fall protection and grounding at linemen schools. Hope this gives you some direction
It shouldn't be a problem because there are no wires so if your power lines get electrocuted it wont blow up with the rest of your stuff in your house.
