Fed up with the shocking amount of verbal abuse, physical assaults and threats of violence against their field crews, meter readers and call centre operators, Ergon Energy and Energex are reminding Queenslanders that everyone deserves to feel safe at work and personal attacks will not be tolerated.

‘Electricity and water don’t mix’ is one of the life-saving and lifelong messages of Ergon Energy’s Safety Heroes program, which has been embraced by primary schools across Queensland.

Undoubtedly, we’ll see severe weather descending on Queensland in the coming weeks and Ergon Energy Network have crews ready on the ground and now in the air thanks to the company’s new highly advanced drone fleet.
