Energy safety

Unsafe use of electricity and gas and accidents involving energy infrastructure can have serious consequences, including damage to property, injury or even loss of lives. It is important to incorporate practices to ensure electrical and gas safety for your business and employees.

If you are excavating on your property where there are underground gas pipes or electricity cables, you must be aware of your safety obligations. Digging and damaging pipes or cables may disrupt essential services, cause injuries and could result in a fine. Learn more about digging near pipes or cables, and find out how you can lodge a free enquiry about your excavation work.

This guide outlines how you can use electricity and gas safely in your business.
