I’m watching this arborist on YouTube and they have a truck with a bucket on an arm so they can reach heights without climbing. On/after a rainy day the bucket will accumulate water and they mentioned they can’t drill a hole to drain because it will compromise the grounding.
My understanding of grounding/electricity doesn’t explain this. Can someone help me understand why this would make a difference?
Edit: I get it, I/he should have said “electrical isolation” instead of “grounding”. Either way, a hole allowing a stream of dirty water seems to be the answer here. Thanks 🙂

That claim makes no sense. More likely the bucket is fiberglass, or some other composite, and adding any holes would compromise it’s structure.
If anything electrical, the worker would be safer NOT grounded, and maybe a hole would compromise ground isolation.
