Safety Alert
Electrical Hazards from Metallic Water Services

This safety alert replaces a previous safety alert issued in 2005 and has been revised following the recent death of a plumber who was electrocuted while installing a new section of copper water pipe at a
private residence. This is the second fatality of its type that has occurred in NSW since 2005.

This alert warns plumbers that serious or fatal electric shocks can result when removing water meters, or cutting through or disconnecting metallic water pipes on water services.
