Electricity is a form of energy. It travels very fast and will travel to ground through any conductor.

People are conductors and if electricity should reach the ground through you, it will cause electric shock and possibly severe injury or even death. Please stay away from live wires.

MainPower is committed to providing a safe and reliable electricity supply to all customers.

Safety is a key value within our organisation and underpins everything we do. We take our obligations under the Health and Safety in Employment Act and the Electrical Workers Registration Board very seriously.

This includes ensuring you are aware of the services we offer to help keep you safe when you are working near overhead lines or underground cables on your property.

MainPower offers a free safety isolation service during work hours and can locate cables at your request.

Phone (03) 311 8300 for more information.
