Safety
Be Aware Electricity Kills
At Centralines we take your safety very seriously. As part of keeping you safe it is important we remind everyone on our network about the dangers of working with or around electricity.
Every year there are a number of "close calls" reported, where machinery or trees have come into contact with the power lines or underground cables which could have caused injury or even death.
Not only is it dangerous, but it can end up potentially costing those who cause the damage thousands of dollars in reparation.
We ask that you please give electricity the respect it deserves and follow five important rules which are in place to help keep you safe.
You must contact Centralines for written consent if you:
- plan to work within 4m of power lines
- plan to dig within 5m of a power pole, power cable or power box
- before you trim or fell trees near power lines
You must contact Centralines if you:
- need underground electrical power cables located
- have concerns about power lines or buried electricity cables
