Electrical Risk: Cut the Power, Save Lives!

Working near a power line, handling an exposed cable, drilling a wall, or using electrical tools... Every task presents a life-threatening risk if precautions are not followed.

As part of our ZeroAccident campaign, this month we are reminding everyone of the key safety practices to prevent electrical hazards:

• Be authorized: A valid and appropriate certification for the task.
• Follow procedures: Verify lockout/tagout and perform a Voltage Absence Test (VAT) before any handling.
• Wear the right PPE: Proper gloves, over-gloves, helmet with face shield, full-cover clothing, insulating stool or mat.
• Use compliant and well-maintained tools.

Before taking action, let's ask ourselves the right questions: VAT OK? Lockout completed? Equipment secured? Securing means preventing. Let's adopt the right reflexes together to ensure our safety and that of our colleagues.
