Putting safety first means people come first. We want all of our customers, employees, contractors and the wider community to be safe around electricity – to always keep a safe distance from electrical equipment and take extra care when working around electricity.
Public safety advertising
We have a seasonal public safety campaign in place to help keep our customers and communities safe.
Plan ahead for power outages
Be prepared for power outages, whether they are caused by weather events, emergency situations or necessary maintenance.
Stay safe in strong winds
Strong winds can bring down trees and send objects flying into power lines. This can cause power cuts, increase fire risk and is a safety hazard.
Doing DIY? Check for power lines
When planning DIY jobs around the home, always put safety first and check your surroundings for overhead lines and underground cables.
Keep trees clear of power lines
Trees and vegetation growing near power lines can cause power outages and are a serious safety hazard.
Hit a power pole?
If you hit a power pole, call 111 and stay in the vehicle until help arrives.
Help reduce fire risk
Fire risk increases in dry conditions, especially when there are strong winds.
