Protective - Engineered Safety

Ever wondered why birds can sit on a powerline and not get zapped? This video was made in an effort to find a funny way to explain this phenomenon. Excuse my terrible acting skills... PS There are many technicalities that have been simplified to try and fit the answer in a short clip. #electricalsafety #lookupandlive

Time for a Sunday Scary - How close is too close? Depth perception plays a critical part when spotting plant and equipment near powerlines 💥 It’s easy to misjudge clearances sometimes but I think anyone would agree that this drill rig less than 100mm from 11kV is simply out of control… Planning and preparation needs to happen in the design stage of a project, NOT the day a rig arrives onsite. Everyday in Australia someone unintentionally strikes a powerline whether it’s a tipper, backhoe, crane, scaffold, tree lopper or other item of plant… it seems to be a never ending problem. Did you know 90% of electrocutions in Australia and New Zealand are the result of contact with overhead powerlines by non-electrical workers? Visit lookupandlive.com to plan your movements onsite to avoid joining these statistics. The map provides geospatial data and accurate information about electrical infrastructure to help make your site safe 👀 Lookupandlive.com continues to grow and has seen 220,000 uses in the last 12 months at an average of 600 individual devices accessing and actively using the map each day!
