SP Energy Networks has released a series of videos to help keep construction workers safe on site. The content is designed to be easy and quick to watch, containing key information to avoid electrical safety incidents.

The latest figures from Health and Safety Executive show that 45 serious incidents were reported on construction sites in the past year. SP Energy Networks’ helpful tips cover topics such as how to use cable plans effectively, special services such as tree cutting and safe digging techniques to prevent electrical accidents.

Derek Bell, Health & Safety Director at SP Energy Networks, said: "We want to make electrical safety advice as easy as possible for construction workers to see and understand.

"With busy schedules and time pressures, it can seem daunting to properly get to grips with health and safety guidance when working around electricity, but our series of safety videos will help construction workers stay safe while working on site.

"By being aware of potential electrical hazards and how to negate them before activity starts, construction teams can help minimise the risk of accidents that occur due to workers striking power lines they’re unaware of."
