The investigation uses a group of people: an expert and five inexperienced ones in the ascent to the posts of the electric power distribution networks that are 12 meters high. The analysis consisted in taking data related to the heartbeat given by the physical effort made to raise and lower poles, presenting a map of heat, generating a stress caused by the fear of heights and the possibility of slipping or falling from the structures that they are installing, resulting in a very unstable heart rate. The analysis considers different circumstances, such as the correlation of the increase of the heart rate with the effort made by the worker, and the heart rate that increases with the fear or stress of working at height is determined. Should be considered the cardiac pulse that the worker has when descending from the post. The heart rate is variable in all the people analyzed, after a physical effort the heart rate is unpredictable for several people.
