In USA this is rule by OSHA, NESC and utility standard practice.

They may be difference in other countries
 
There is a book called "Live Line Work Practices" published by Alexander Publications, 177 Riverside Avenue #922, Newport Beach, CA 92663, ph. 800-992-3031, This book has procedures on all types of live line work, including what you're looking for.

After reviewing the procedures in this book, you can identify what tools you will need and they are available thru AB Chance.

Since you (and your workers) have never done this, you need to practice this over and over in a training yard simulating actual conditions until everyone is proficient in this work.
