Safe Isolation – The State of The NI Electrical Industry

SparkSafe LtP is delighted to be supporting Super Rod in their ‘Save our Sparks’ safe isolation campaign.

The “Save Our Sparks” campaign was inspired by Michael’s Story. Michael Adamson was just 26 when he died after coming into contact with mains voltage power in an incident at work in August 2005.

He was an experienced electrician but there were a number of health and safety failings on the site where he was working – including the failure to implement safe isolation procedures and a failure to provide lock off devices and testing equipment – which would eventually lead to his tragic death. His sister, Louise Adamson, began Michael’s Story as a way to engage with electrical workers and business owners about the risks of poor electrical safety. For more information visit: https://michaels-story.net

What is it all about?
RIDDOR statistics suggest an average of 6 people die and a further 250 are injured by electrical discharge while at work every single year.
We have teamed up with Super Rod to help raise awareness of the Safe Isolation campaign and to get more electrical workers thinking about their health and safety at work.

What we need you to do?
The survey is designed to gain feedback about safe isolation practices from electrical workers within the NI electrical installation industry.  So if you are an electrical apprentice, electrical labourer, electrician, or maintenance worker please take a few minutes to complete the survey. We need your feedback!

Be honest, it’s important to find out what’s really going on in the workplace so we can address what needs to change to help improve safety and protect lives. Your responses are confidential.

Everyone who completes the survey will be in with a chance to win a Klein Tools bundle worth over £300 at trade price.

The competition ends 31st August 2023 – NI Only
