Safety Brief SB-819 Communications Microcells on Essential Energy Poles


What is happening?

Essential Energy is currently negotiating a Facilities Access Agreement (FAA) with various Communications Companies to allow installation of their small ‘microcell’ transmitters and associated aerials onto suitable Essential Energy poles.
A small number of these microcells have already been installed in the Tathra area ahead of the formal FAA.

This Safety Brief provides interim information and safety precautions to be followed for working ‘on or near’ the poles where these microcell installations are installed. Discussions are continuing with the Communications Companies – and the other electricity network operators – for consistent precautions to ensure worker safety.

What do you need to do?

  1. Review SB-819 Microcells in Essential Energy Poles located on Essential Energy’s Document Library 
  2. Communicate this information to relevant members of your organisation.
