RFIDs close to HV power lines

Does any of you know if passive RFID will work close (3-4 meters) to
high voltage power lines (275kVolt).
I think yes since they work in FR frequencies and power lines have
60-50 Hz despite the strong electromagnetic fields. Do you agree???

Probably.

If you intend such RFIDs to be used by humans, isn't 3 metres a bit too
close to a 275 kV power line for safety?  Or do you mean 3 metres from the
projection of an overhead power line on the ground, when the line is at
least 7.2 m above the ground?

No within three meters from the power line. Lets assume that safety is
not an issue.

Not to make an issue, but as i recall minimum clearance at that
voltage is on the order of 4.5 meters.
