What's that overhead?
You may have noticed the cheerful hi-vis bunting strung overhead around the Peninsula Connection worksites.
It
might look like an attempt to spread a bit of the Christmas spirit year-round,
but it's actually an important safety measure! Safety is the number one concern
on our construction sites. We all use personal protective equipment (PPE), such
as helmets and protective clothing, but there are also some areas that require
special attention. Putting up safety flags (bunting lookalikes) means that
overhead services, such as power lines, can be seen clearly – helping us to
avoid hitting them or pulling them down.
