Look Up Look Out

Report anear miss

There are far more close calls than people realise — too often they go unreported through embarrassment or being brushed off. There is no shame in it. Sharing what happened helps us learn, spot patterns, and protect each other. Remember, An electrocution does not end at the scene of the accident. If you survive it follows the person home. It follows the family into hospitals, waiting rooms, operations, rehabilitation, financial pressure, sleepless nights, mental health struggles, and a completely different future from the one they expected.

Safety basics

Photos that help

Photos are optional. If you have them, useful images include damaged poles, how cables sit relative to the building, or the working position — real-world context that words alone can't replace. You can add up to five images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, or HEIC, up to 10MB each).

Campaign reporting only

This form is for the campaign — awareness, learning, and showing the scale of the problem. It is not about selling anything or telling you how to do your job. It does not replace official reporting to your employer, a network operator, or regulators when the law or your job requires it. For immediate danger, follow emergency guidance on our safety page — including calling 105 in the uk or If you’re in Northern Ireland and need help with overhead power lines—whether it’s shrouding requests or an emergency—call NIE Networks on 0345 7 643 643. They’re available 24/7 to help keep you safewhen a job feels unsafe.

Close calls deserve airtime. Your report can protect someone else.
