Safe Work Month

Safety is everyone’s business.

Each year in October, National Safe Work Month is held to encourage organisations and individuals to prioritise work health and safety, and take actions to reduce work related incidents, injuries and fatalities.

Essential Energy prioritises safety around the electricity network – for our workers and the communities in which we operate.

As one of Australia’s largest electricity distribution providers, we recognise one of the biggest risks when it comes to electrical safety is people, agricultural and industrial machinery coming into contact with powerlines, power poles and the underground network.

It’s for this reason, Essential Energy provides awareness and education of these risks and encourages those working near or around the electricity network to take the steps to protect their safety and the safety of others. 

Essential Energy’s Public Safety Specialist is available for workplace face-to-face electricity safety presentations targeted to a range of industries including the Agribusiness sector, Building and Construction, Emergency Services, Aviation and aerial applicators, Transport and High Loads.

To enquire about a safety presentation for your workplace, please submit a Request for Safety Advice
