The power line to our house is buried and runs under the path in our garden.

The drip loop could be bigger. Offhand I think Article 210 deals with Service connections like that.

If everyone did everything the OSHA way all the time, it would take twice as long to get anything done. Fucking safety nazis.

Reminds me of this one place where I used to work. The government inspectors were coming, and the shift boss was going off his nut trying to make all the female workers on the production floor wear hairnets. Even those whose hair was shorter than the guys' hair.

I think OSHA started out with good intentions, but got drunk on their own power. I've see people get hurt a few times in machine shops, and it's usually the kind of things that OSHA could never prevent.  8)

There's nothing wrong with that picture assuming it was an electrician who put up the ladder.  The aluminum is a good foot or so away from the mains and contrary to popular belief, those wires are insulated, you actually can touch one of those wires and be fine.  The OSHA regulation (and the sticker on the ladder) are there to prevent morons from leaning the ladder in a place where the ladder itself could come in contact with the wire since a sharp edge on the ladder could scrape through the insulation.

But I am not an electrician :P  I had to take off the piece of loose siding there and reinstall it

I didn't think of the siding, I just assumed the ladder was there to get at the wiring.  Yea, as long as you don't scrape the black rubbery insulation on the wires down to the bare aluminum inside, you can continue living until you fall off the ladder from trying to reach too far for a piece of siding.  Just watch out for that ceramic insulator on the trim board, if you somehow knock that loose, the weight of the wires between your house and the telephone pole on the street will rip the conduit off the house and most likely the meter, as well as any pieces of siding/trim that the conduit is attached to.

Most of the powerlines here are underground, except for the ones that run along A1A right in front of where I live haha.

If they're the big high-tension feeder lines on the big steel towers, go under them at night holding a flourescent tube (just the tube, you don't need a fixture) and watch it glow from induction.  The lower the wattage of the tube, the brighter it will glow, those little twisty CFL bulbs work too.
