Lost count of all the boulders dug up on this foundation dig in Epping so far. 😯

Some jobs are like that. Thanks to Amber for the pic.
If this kid was coming back every week, I'd be thinking seriously about keeping a few Dobermans in the yard overnight.
So many things are wrong here. 😳

Operator was "lucky" enough to survive the initial contact with HV lines, but then he hangs around the truck like the step potential can't fry your insides just as badly. ⚡

Another serious HV incident this week: Ambulance Victoria responded to an incident in Norlane on Wednesday 24th September 2025.

Advanced Life Support Paramedics, Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance Paramedics, and the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service attended the scene. 4 patients were assessed.
Sad news came through today with a WorkSafe announcement that a 49-year-old man was electrocuted last week near Koonoomoo whilst handling a 6.5m length of aluminium pole.

This death is the 36th confirmed workplace fatality in 2025. He was working alone. 😢

Another tragic EWP crush incident that should NEVER have happened; a 25-year-old operator was seriously injured & later died in hospital. 3 companies facing charges.

These incidents are easily avoided. We can provide ticketed Safety Observers for indoor jobs

An early start on a cold winter morning today unloading this steel formwork for a residential rebuild today.

This is a Sydney rail network incident, nevertheless the underlying safety principles to apply are the same: if powerlines are down around you STAY CLEAR or if caught in the middle STAY INSIDE (unless in immediate danger).

Wait for the authorities to make safe! ⚠️

Hundreds begin to be freed after 15,000-volt wire falls on Sydney train
Up to 300 passengers are stranded on a train near Sydney's Strathfield station after a high-voltage power cable came down on top of carriages.

Excellent video. Went right into the history and then the building's legacy.

Deconstructing a blade sign in the No-Go-Zone. Those are 11kV lines overhead & in the background. ⚡

Working with Capture Installations here. EWP from Manlift Hire.

Mistake #1 - picking the wrong place to unload.

Mistake #2 - spotter not doing their job/ untrained/ unregulated.

Hopefully no-one got hurt. 😒

Erecting or dismantling scaffolding also needs spotters around the No-Go-Zones. We can help you work safely & in compliance with your Permit to Work

Don't risk prosecution or something even more serious: www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/news/2025-03...

Another Bob Jane T-Marts outlet undergoing a facelift over the F1GP weekend in Melbourne. This one is in High Street, Prahran.

Spotter Amber is working with Wali from KAH Maintenance Pty Ltd here. Getting it done safely. 👍

Sometimes the access is really, really tight and there's just no room left for error. Call on us to get the job done and everyone home safely ✅

Working with Brett Downey Painting here. Bare LV conductors have been isolated, but bundled 3-phase supply lines remain active ⚡

#nogozones #spotterzones
Ladder accident around live conductors. ⚡ 😥
Seriously... the delivery vehicle for the original air ambulance in 1970 was a trailer on the back of a Leyland P76?

How iconic. 👍
10 years ago today. Repainting this magnificent landmark building in Elwood. Difficult access for the upper floor and line isolation required - but with spotter in attendance, everything done safely.
