Situations on public roads involving loose cables or damaged cabinets.

 

In hazardous situations on public roads, maintain a minimum distance of 10 metres from fallen power lines, do not touch or attempt to move exposed cables, and always notify E-REDES.

Before starting work, it is essential to check for nearby power lines and always maintain a minimum distance of 5 metres between the lines and equipment or loads (poles, scaffolding, cranes, lorries, ladders, pipes, gutters, etc.).
