[markessox65]

I work in an industrial setting. Are there any laws in the U.S. that prohibate working , crawling , or walking on energized high voltage cable trays? If so what or where are they?

You can check out this article on OSHA regulations for working on high voltage cable trays.

The way it is written in the osha conclussion is a bit confussing , ( it says "work on cable tray instalation" what if they are already installed and we need to add cables or remove some?

Cable trays are not designed to for "people support".

You could easily stretch NFPA 70E 215.3, to prohibit activities that do not provide 'physical protection' for conductors, such as walking on them.
