EPZ Demarcation

Name: EPZ Demarcation
Brand: Groundforce

The EPZ Demarcation System is designed to meet safety and compliance needs in the electricity transmission sector.

It provides reliable protection for workers around Electrically Protected Zones (EPZs), overhead lines (OHLs), towers, or substations.

This system solves the challenge of inadequate demarcation by clearly defining safe work zones and supporting critical safety protocols like Permit for Work and Sanction for Work.

With high-visibility yellow cones and black-and-yellow plastic chains or barriers, the EPZ system marks risk zones, hazard areas, and controlled entry and exit points. Its modular design allows for easy customisation to meet the specific needs of any site or project.
