Assets and infrastructure

Our electrical equipment is inspected and maintained regularly, so it’s reliable, safe and up-to-date for all our customers.

When onsite, we ensure health and safety are taken very seriously. Our trusted contractors will work with you on your property.

 

Here’s how we do it:

  • We’ll let you know before arriving if we’re working on your property assets.
  • We have structured health and safety protocols, including hazard assessments, to ensure the safety of you and the surrounding environment.

We understand that you might have your own health and safety protocols, which we are happy to work with you on.

What we ask of you:

  • Please let us know if any obstacles could harm us.  
  • Let everyone on your property know when we’re working on your assets. 
  • Agree and follow all health and safety protocols requested by us and our contractors.
  • Leave a clear path for us or our contractors to work on your assets, e.g. no cars or closed gates.
