IKEJA Electric has launched a network safety monitoring initiative to strengthen its commitment towards ensuring the safety of lives and property. The company in a statement on Wednesday, June 15, said the initiative would entail round-the-clock electrical asset surveillance across its network by special teams, specifically set up for this purpose.
The teams, made up of safety specialists and technicians in different units, will patrol the entire network armed with multimedia gadgets to enable them to capture damaged assets and dangerous connections in real time. According to the statement, the data captured is then relayed to a central control unit from where it will be passed on to the nearest undertaking at which point the network operation logs the information and ensures resolution within the shortest time possible.
Felix Ofulue, head, corporate communications of the company, was quoted as saying, “Safety in a high-risk sector such as the electricity industry cannot be over-emphasised because if the safety standards are compromised, the resultant effect could be disastrous, leading to damage to properties and even loss of human lives.
“Ikeja Electric will not compromise on safety. It is a high-risk environment and coupled with the rains and high winds of this season, we have to continue the campaign of safety across our network. We are also aware that by putting forward these initiatives, we are raising the bar of safety across the entire company with other industry players raising their own standards of safety. In the end, if we are able to keep people safe, we will be justified.”
Ofulue said in consonance with the company’s health and safety mandate, it had issued series of weather alerts, calling public attention to common dangers associated with the inclement weather, adding that the alerts were put out to encourage customers to adopt better and higher safety precautions.
He said: “The monitoring team is a roving one, constantly on the move, scouting for unsafe and damaged assets. Managing the assets of the company is integral to the company’s ability to deliver safe supply of energy to homes and businesses.”
