Powerlines & Powerline Safety…wondering what it has to do with you as a Property Developer?
…..LOTS!
Accidents with powerlines on Development projects are WAY more common than you think, and they are ALWAYS avoidable!
Think about it…an excavator arrives on site, one which you know has overhead powerlines in the front verge…
How do you as the Property Developer ensure you and your team are safe, and your project can move along smoothly without any unfortunate incidents (burns, amputations, or worse yet….fatalities)?
Accidents occur due to a lack of awareness, insufficient planning, and ‘inattentional blindness’…..
Put simply, we always plan work near the powerlines we CANNOT see, using tools like Dial Before You Dig, but we can often miss the powerlines we CAN SEE….
And as Property Developers, we rely on workers seeing powerlines when arriving on site, however human factors can occur, causing electrical hazards to be missed.
So what can you be doing?
