Safer than doing it from the ground.

Yup. But safer still letting someone else do it. Ive lots of respect for high voltage. Ive seen what it can do. Used to repair the concrete pillers of sub station lines.. That was dodgy enough..some were live some were surrounded by live which in many ways is worse when your in cherry picker 70 feet in air...you lose you position quite easily.
