If you are installing drainage, digging foundations or sinking fence posts be aware there may be electricity cables in the ground you are about to dig.Remember:
-Never assume that cables follow a straight line or run at the same depth.
-Never disturb electricity cables and joints or their protective covers
-Never use a mechanical excavator within 0.5m (20in) of electricity cables
Emergency Action
If your farm vehicle makes contact with an underground cable or overhead power line don’t climb out. If you need to get out to summon help or because of fire, jump as far as possible with both feet together. Never return to the vehicle and keep all people well away from any broken or damaged electricity apparatus, cable or power lines.
