00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,100

Hi, I'm Billy. I've been involved in some

huge DIY projects.

 

2

00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:06,840

In homes and in gardens.

 

3

00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:11,160

I've seen excellent and I've seen some disasters.

 

4

00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,320

Every year, people get injured when they come in contact

 

5

00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,180

with overhead powerlines and underground cables.

 

6

00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,820

So it's essential you follow SP Energy Networks' safety advice and

 

7

00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,460

make sure you can enjoy the benefits of your hard work.

 

8

00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:36,060

If your electricity is supplied by an underground cable and you're planning to do digging work in your garden,

 

9

00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:39,740

contact SP Energy Networks for safety advice.

 

10

00:00:40,860 --> 00:00:43,520

Underground cables don't run in straight lines.

 

11

00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:48,620

Make sure you don't use picks, pinch bars or garden forks to dig near.

 

12

00:00:49,940 --> 00:00:53,980

Electricity cables and power lines should always be treated as live,

 

13

00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:58,400

unless confirmed otherwise by SP Energy Networks.

 

14

00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:05,240

Electricity can jump gaps, always maintain a safe distance from overhead powerlines.

 

15

00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:12,500

In an emergency dial 999 and let the emergency services know your location and

 

16

00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,360

that there's live electricity involved.
