Powerlines are often overhead — and it’s easy to underestimate how close is too close when working outdoors.
Recent insights show that only 1 in 6 Torontonians know the safe distance from overhead powerlines.
When working outdoors:
- Stay at least 3 metres away from overhead powerlines
- Keep your ladders, tools and equipment the same distance away
- Always look up before you start
Understanding safe distances can help prevent serious injuries and fatalities.
Powerlines run through Toronto’s streets, laneways and backyards — and recent insights show that half of Torontonians don’t know how far back to stay from downed powerlines.
May 11–17 is Powerline Safety Week, and we’re reminding Torontonians what to do if you see a downed powerline:
- Stay at least 10 metres back (about the length of a school bus)
- Never touch or try to move it
- Report it by calling 911
Always treat downed powerlines as live.

Today is the — a time to pause, reflect and remember those who have lost their lives, been injured or suffered illness at work.
We honour the workers who did not come home, and we recognize the families, friends and communities whose lives are forever changed by workplace tragedy.
This day also invites us to reflect on the kind of workplace we’re continuing to build together — one where speaking up about hazards, near misses or concerns is encouraged and supported. When we listen with care and learn from moments that don’t go as planned, we make meaningful improvements.
By supporting one another and acting on what we learn, we strengthen our shared commitment to safer and healthier workplaces for everyone.
