An incident in April involving a tractor and power lines Farmers are being reminded to look up when working near overhead power lines. In the past year Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has seen a slight reduction in the number of incidents on farms and fields across its network in central southern England, with 417 callouts compared to 419 the year before. These reported incidents on agricultural land were the result of third-parties coming in to contact with poles, overhead lines and cables, resulting in local electricity supplies being disrupted and potentially causing serious injury, or worse, to those involved. This year, SSEN carried out a research project with farmers operating across arable and livestock farms to explore safety behaviours, media habits, understanding of SSEN’s annual campaign and the dangers associated with overhead lines.

A new campaign designed to keep the farming community to stay safe when working near power lines has been launched.
Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) are urging farmers to be aware of overhead power lines, cables and poles to prevent serious injuries with the message “look out, look out and look after yourself”.
Farming equipment coming into contact with power lines can also result in local electricity supplies being disrupted.
SSEN has responded to 448 incidents on farms and fields across the north of Scotland in the past year which is down from 505 the year before.
Ian Crawley, network operational safety manager at SSEN, said the campaign has been “directly informed” by the real-life experiences of the farming community. Farmers who operate arable and livestock farms took part in interviews and a research project to explore safety behaviours and the dangers associated with overhead lines.
