MEA warning over substation dangers

Vandalism at an electricity substation in Castletown could have had fatal consequences.

The Manx Electricity Authority is issuing a warning after youngsters were found to have been climbing on the roof of the building and throwing bricks at it.

It happened at the Ballalough housing estate.

With the Easter Holidays approaching, mums and dads are asked to speak to their children about the dangers posed by playing around substations.

Andy Cooil is the Health and Safety Manager at the MEA.[play media file below]
