Farmers and those visiting farms must cooperate and share information to ensure that visiting workers such as delivery drivers and contractors are made aware of site risks and features. In particular work should be planned to avoid proximity to OHPLs and visitors should be made aware of the location on the farm, and what to do if they contact the line as set out in the guidance above. For premises where OHPLs are present it is good practice for the occupier to have ready access to emergency numbers, such as the DNO, should an incident occur.
Further guidance on safe deliveries to farms and electricity can be found on the Farm Safety Partnership website. HSE guidance for safety with electricity can be found on the agriculture micro site contact with OHPLs including AIS 8 working safely near overhead electricity power lines. The Energy Networks Association (ENA) has also produced some guidance on safety for farmers & agricultural contractors.
