Customer safety
Treat all powerlines as 'live' and dangerous by keeping at least 8m clear of them. Never drive across fallen powerlines.
Avoid all contact with wires that are hanging low, or on the ground or tangled in trees.
If using portable generators, please ensure they are located outside of your home and well away from open windows to avoid deadly exhaust fumes entering your home.
Generators should never be connected to switchboards unless there is an isolation switch installed by a licensed electrician. This is to avoid sending electricity back up powerlines and making isolated parts of the network dangerous for workers and the broader community.
