🚨 Safety Alert 137 Released – DC Electric Shock

A new EGT Safety Alert has been issued following a recent incident involving a first-year apprentice receiving a DC electric shock while undertaking solar installation works

This alert highlights the risks associated with solar DC cabling, particularly the fact that cables can become live immediately once connected to an array exposed to light. It reinforces the importance of:

⚡ Following correct work sequences
⚡ Not energising systems prematurely
⚡ Clear instruction and direct supervision
⚡ Understanding that solar DC cannot be isolated like typical LV circuits

Remember your ABC – Assume nothing. Believe no-one. Check everything.

All apprentices and host employers are encouraged to read Safety Alert 137 in full and discuss it on site.
