Keep safe while working around powerlines!

Northpower

When working near overhead lines and power poles, keep a careful watch and make sure that you maintain a safe working distance from overhead lines at all times. When operating machinery such as a digger or crane near lines you must keep at least four metres clear of the overhead power lines.

Do not dig within five metres of power poles without a Close Approach Consent, as this could cause the power pole to collapse.

Please contact us on 0800 10 4040 to book a safety disconnection (and reconnection) at least two working days before you plan to begin your work.
