Business Safety

Keeping your workplace safe from electrical accidents is an ongoing effort that requires attention to many different factors related to your operation. For maximum safety, you should have an expert such as a licensed electrician or engineer regularly review your operation to spot potential electrical problems.

Also, be sure to:

Look around your business. Take a few minutes to visually locate the outside electrical equipment serving your facility. Then tell all employees and contractors to stay at least 10 feet away from both overhead lines and ground-level equipment such as padmount transformers. If something changes or doesn’t look right, call us at 413-536-1050.

Call before you dig. Call 1-888-DIG-SAFE at least three working days before beginning any project that involves digging, no matter how shallow or deep. You can also notify Dig Safe at digsafe.com. They will notify area utilities who will mark the locations of underground lines you and your contractors need to avoid. Lines are often where you least expect them. Calling first not only makes sense, it’s also the law.

Never touch or go near a fallen power line. Always assume all lines are live and dangerous. Stay away and call us for help at 413-536-1050 anytime.
