The Power Industry
Explore the Power Industry and learn how Altitude Safety supports workers with crucial safety equipment, including PPE and fall protection.
Who are they?
The power industry is a crucial sector that is divided into three primary segments: power generation, transmission and distribution networks, and metering and sales. Large, multinational energy companies typically operate across all three segments, providing a comprehensive energy supply and service to a global customer base. In contrast, smaller companies often focus on one specific area, such as power generation or distribution. The industry plays a vital role in supplying electricity and energy to various sectors, including industrial, manufacturing, commercial, and residential users worldwide.
Technological advancements are also reshaping the industry, with innovations such as smart grids and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) revolutionising energy distribution, monitoring, and conservation. AMI technology allows for accurate measurement and tracking of energy consumption, empowering consumers to make more informed decisions about energy use while helping utilities manage supply and demand more effectively.
How DOES Altitude help the power sector?
Power industry workers face various hazards, including exposure to high-voltage electricity, working at heights on power lines or transmission towers, and operating heavy machinery. Safety equipment is crucial to protect these workers from electrical shocks, falls, burns, and other injuries. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as insulated gloves, safety helmets, eye protection, and fall protection gear (including harnesses and lanyards), is vital for safeguarding workers from electrical hazards and preventing accidents in high-risk environments. Additionally, flame-resistant clothing and respiratory protection are essential to mitigate the dangers of hazardous working conditions. Providing the right safety equipment not only helps prevent injuries but also ensures compliance with safety regulations and creates a safer work environment for power industry workers.
