‘STAY SAFE’ MESSAGE FOR FESTIVE AND NEW YEAR REVELLERS

Posted:
23/12/2021

3772.1

Northern Powergrid, the company that powers everyday life for 8 million people across the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, is urging people to stay clear of overhead power lines and substations if they plan to set off fireworks to celebrate the festive season or bring in the New Year.

The electricity distributor, which delivers power to 3.9 million homes and businesses through its network of underground cables and overhead power lines, is encouraging people to take a few extra minutes to double check their surroundings.

It wants people to be fully aware of the potential dangers around and above them which could spoil their festive or New Year’s Eve celebrations or result in serious or fatal injuries if they light fireworks anywhere near their local electricity network.

Gareth Pearson, Northern Powergrid’s Head of Health, Safety and Training, said: “Many people may be thinking about setting off fireworks to celebrate the festive season or bring in the New Year. 

“Before starting a display, we want them to take a few minutes to have a good look around. It’s vital that they find a safe place, well away from our overhead power lines or substations, and that they fully understand that interfering with the electricity network can be dangerous.

“By taking these extra, simple precautions they can ensure they have a fantastic festive season and a safe start to 2022.”

To contact Northern Powergrid to report any safety concerns regarding the local electricity network call 105.  Northern Powergrid can also be contacted 24/7 via Facebook and Twitter (@NorthPowergrid).
