Electrical Safety Fortnight

At CV, we know that strong safety outcomes come from far more than procedures and compliance. They come from people sharing observations, speaking up, learning from one another and staying curious about better ways of working. Recently, Electrical Safety Fortnight gave us another opportunity to do exactly that.

Here’s what we got up to during Electrical Safety Fortnight:

Test Board Demonstration – We hosted Infinispark at our Hendra head office to showcase training equipment designed to provide safe, realistic fault-finding and testing scenarios for our electrical workers.
Electrical Safety Summit – Members of CV’s safety and leadership teams attended the industry event to hear the latest insights, challenges and developments in electrical safety.
Electrical Supervision Workshops – We brought our electrical supervisors together to explore advanced testing solutions and discuss updates to Queensland’s Electrical Safety Regulations.
Electrical Apprentice Safety Forum – CV apprentices attended a powerful presentation from Theo Venter, an arc flash survivor, who shared the importance of trusting your instincts, speaking up when something doesn’t feel right and never letting convenience outweigh safety.
HSE Observation Competition – We ran a competition encouraging our electrical workers to submit observations, helping us identify hazards, recognise good work and share learnings that could prevent future incidents.

The best safety improvements often start with a conversation, an observation or someone asking a question. Creating opportunities for our people to learn, share experiences and challenge the way we’ve always done things is an important part of how we continue to strengthen electrical safety across CV.

Thank you to everyone in our team who got involved throughout the fortnight!
