We are often asked questions about the safety of electrical equipment, particularly around electric and magnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are produced by all electrical wiring or equipment carrying electric current. This includes household appliances, internal home wiring, electricity network lines and equipment. More information about EMFs is provided here.

 

For everyone working on our networks, safety is more than just a priority, it is a core value. That means it’s an integral part of every function of our organisation. No financial goal, work task or schedule demand is allowed to override the requirement for safety.

It takes time, resources and determination to maintain these high safety standards, but is well worth the investment if it ensures stay safe.
