SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION KEY ADVICE FROM THE POWER COMPANY’S SAFETY TEAM IS TO PLAN AHEAD:


Request advice on disconnecting power supplies, shrouding overhead lines and other issues at www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk


Always treat all cables as live. Make sure you allow time before each job to obtain cable plans and be mindful service cables could be overhead as well as underground.


Underground cables should be clearly marked before excavating – with trial holes dug if necessary – consult HSG47 ‘Avoiding Danger from Underground services’.


Show these plans to everyone on site before starting work. Confirm locations by using a CAT (cable avoidance) tool. Locate, identify and clearly mark where cables are.


Look Up and Look Out for overhead lines and always use a cable detector before drilling into walls, roof areas or walls. Check where a service cable enters a building.


Inform other trades working with you of the location of cables. ALWAYS do your own checks before you start to drill or dig.


Work away from overhead power lines when handling long items, such as scaffold poles, or when using lifting and digging equipment. Tell all those delivering to site the location of overhead power lines.


Always request that the power supply be disconnected before starting any demolition work. Failure to do so could lead to injuries for yourself, colleagues or members of the public.
