Safety
For everyone working at Electricity Ashburton, safety is more than just a priority, it is a core value. That means it is an integral part of every function of Electricity Ashburton’s organisation. No financial goal, work task or schedule demand is allowed to override the requirement for safety. This applies to everyone who works for, or contracts to Electricity Ashburton, including subcontractors.
To achieve such high standards of safety, Electricity Ashburton has committed to a comprehensive safety policy that includes:
- Training - As well as on-site training for lines crews, all staff, including office staff and contractors, are required to attend regular Safety Day events.
- Personal Protective Equipment - All crews working for Electricity Ashburton are provided with and required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). This includes fire retardant overalls, safety glasses, insulated gloves, safety boots, safety helmets and all other safety equipment required for specific tasks.
- Contractual Requirements - To ensure Electricity Ashburton’s safety standards are enforced at all times, every contractor working for Electricity Ashburton is required to accept and implement those standards as part of their contract for the work.
