A GUIDE TO CAMPING
WARNINGS
OVERHEAD POWER LINES
Be advised that an overhead power line dissects the camping
area. Please note the following guidelines and precautions:
• Before setting up camp, avoid pitching your tent or caravan
directly under or close to an overhead power line. Please be
particularly aware when erecting TV aerials or radio masts.
• Overhead power lines are often uninsulated (bare) and can
carry high voltages so always hold long objects horizontally,
parallel with the ground, when walking under lines.
• The lowest-voltage overhead lines can produce 10,000
times more current than is required to kill a person. It can
be fatal to touch electricity wires by human touch or with
an object at low voltage. Even domestic voltage (230 volts)
can be lethal.
• Don’t assume wires on wooden poles are telephone wires.
• Never assume electrical equipment is dead, even if wires
have fallen or broken. Power can be switched back on
without warning.
• Electricity can jump gaps.
• Metal and carbon-bre tent poles, guy lines, TV aerials and
almost any long object can conduct electricity.
• Rubber boots will not protect you.
• Don’t light a re / barbecue under an overhead line, as the
heat could cause the wires to sag dangerously low or
to break.
• Electricity poles and pylons are usually tted with yellow
‘danger of death’ notices, and lines should be too. Take note of
any warning signs and stay well away from the marked area.
• If there’s a line close to where you are setting up your tent,
awning or caravan, keep well away. Don’t assume it’s a
telephone wire. If you have any doubts, please contact the
Campsite Manager in the Campsite Ofce.
• Do not y kites in the campsites under any circumstances.
WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
• If you come within ve metres of a damaged wire, move
away as quickly as you can, and warn others to stay well
clear. You don’t have to touch a wire that is on the ground
to be injured or killed. Electrical current can travel a long
way through the ground – even further if the wire falls on a
fence or metallic objects.
• Always assume the lines are live, even if they’re not sparking.
• If you have a mobile with you, call the emergency services.
• If you’re inside a caravan (or tent or mobile home), stay
inside until the emergency services arrive.
• Never touch a tent, awning, frame, caravan, post or fence
you suspect is touching an electricity line.
• Wires can re-energise at any time without warning.
