Digging, driving stakes and poles or hammering in waratahs on or near your property...
Many houses built since the 1980s have underground power supplies. This means there may be an underground power cable connecting your house to the network cables that run under the strip of land between your house and the road.
Buried cables can present a serious and potentially fatal hazard if you damage them. You should always check for buried cables before digging stakes, fence posts or waratahs into the ground.
Accidents can occur when you do not know where these power cables are:
Never assume an area is clear of electricity cables
Be careful when digging post holes or driving stakes in the ground
Cables are not necessarily laid in a straight line
The depth of cables can vary in different situations
Cables are not designed to withstand a blow from a tool or other object
