We've hooked up with the Northern Powergrid to help tackle fishing safety! Northern Powergrid serve 8 million customers across the North East, Yorkshire and northern Lincolnshire, and together we are encouraging anglers to ‘Look Up It’s Live!’ and 'look up before you hook up' when fishing near overhead power lines, cables and poles. Every year in the UK there are cases of fishing equipment coming into contact or too close with overhead power lines, causing horrific burn injuries or even death. With power lines on wooden poles carrying voltages up to 132,000 volts, anglers are being urged to always plan ahead when fishing, and tackle safety to make sure the next catch isn't deadly.
