Powerline Safety

A Safety Message from Ausgrid 

If you are in a life threatening situation call triple zero.

It is always important to remember to stay safe:

  • Watch out for electrical hazards hidden in storm debris; trees and flood waters can hide fallen powerlines
  • Fallen powerlines are very dangerous; do not touch fallen powerlines and always assume they are live
  • If you see a fallen powerline, stay at least 8 metres (as long as a bus) away from it and anything it may be touching. Tell an adult and call triple zero (000).

 

To report electrical emergencies and faults (24hrs) call Ausgrid on 13 13 88.
